  • Fans of Manchester United are buzzing about the possibility of the club winning a record-extending 21 Premier League titles
  • The closest Man United, the most successful club in the English elite division, have gotten to reaching Premier League glory was in the 2017-18 and 2020-21 seasons
  • However, the purchase of Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen is whetting the appetite of most club faithfuls

Following Manchester United's acquisition of Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen and the possible addition of Frenkie De Jong, fans of the Red Devils are licking their lips of ending their Premier League title drought.

Since the retirement of legendary British trainer Sir Alex Ferguson, which coincided with United's last league title, the red half of Manchester has not witnessed a title tilt for almost a decade.

The closest Man United have come to winning the league title is finishing in the second position in the 2017-18 and 2020-21 campaigns.

The Red Devils have already secured the services of Dutch full-back Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and now Lisandro Martinez with the possible addition of Frenkie De Jong on the cards.

Why are United fans brimming with the confidence of winning their 21st Premier League title?

What is causing the buzz among the United faithful is the shirt number of the last two signings, that is, Eriksen and Martinez.

The aforementioned pair wore the No. 21 jerseys at their previous clubs Brentford and Ajax Amsterdam respectively.

And most United faithfuls believe it is a sign of the club winning their 21st league crown.

The Robin Van Persie factor

It would be recalled that Robin Van Persie swapped Arsenal for Manchester United at the start of the 2012-13 season with the Dutch striker handed the No.20 jersey.

Eventually, Van Persie, wearing No.20, inspired Manchester United to their 20th league title.

And ahead of the forthcoming season, supporters of the club who believe in Numerology believe there is a relationship between the previous jersey numbers of Martinez and Christian to United's Premier League success.

Whether it's mere coincidence or writing on the wall, the 2022-23 season promises to be an exciting season for Man United.

United agrees deal with Ajax to sign Lisandro Martinez

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Argentine international defender Lisandro Martinez is set to become Manchester United's third transfer window signing after the English giants agreed on a deal with Ajax on Sunday.

Ajax confirmed that United would pay an initial 57 million euros ($57 million, £48 million) and a further 10 million euros in performance-related bonuses.

"Manchester United is delighted to announce the club has reached an agreement with Ajax for the transfer of Argentine international defender Lisandro Martinez, subject to medical, to player terms being finalised, and to UK visa requirements," United said in a statement.
