Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea has chided Juan Mata after Bruno Fernandes was handed Mata's shirt number.

Manchester United are confident of signing Lisandro Martinez

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Manchester United were confident they can sign Lisandro Martinez from Dutch Eredivisie champions Ajax this summer after tabling an improved offer for the Argentine defender.

The Red Devils are in a race with fellow Premier League rivals Arsenal to sign the 24-year-old defender who has been identified as a key target for Erik ten Hag.

Manchester United has now tabled an improved bid of €50m to persuade Ajax to sell Martinez as the figure looks way above what the Gunners can afford to pay.

Paul Scholes disagrees with Erik ten Hag's new policies at Manchester United

Sports Brief has also reported that Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has torn into the new set of rules introduced by new manager Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag has hit the ground running at United's Carrington Training Complex by laying the foundation of how he wants things to run during his time at the club.

The former Ajax manager has the big task of taking back the club to its glory days after very disappointing spells from past managers since Alex Ferguson left.
