United Win Race For Wimbledon Super-Kid
Manchester United have won the race to sign Wimbledon Midfielder Lee Martin.

Midfielder Martin, 16, has attracted interest from fellow Premiership title contenders Chelsea and Arsenal, but Martin would prefer a move to Old Trafford.

Sir Alex Ferguson is willing to pay The Dons a compensation to avoid a tribunal which the FA will decide how much United will have to pay for the player.

Marin was spotted by Sir Alex whilst playing in the U17's and U19's for Wimbledon, and his tricky skills and pace were the two things that impressed the Scotsman the most.
