Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is trying his best to complete the dream of Manchester United, in the context of the Ruben Amorim coach, considering changing the number one position in the wooden frame.
Emiliano Martinez desires to join Man United
Emiliano Martinez, who has been honored by FIFA twice as the best goalkeeper in the world in the past 3 years, is very excited about the prospect of Old Trafford. The 32 -year -old goalkeeper of Aston Villa is described as the leader that Amorim yearns to bring home: “Ruben wanted Emi since 2020 when he was still leading Sporting, but finally Villa was the winning team. He always searched for true leaders in the dressing room, and Emi was the perfect choice.”internal sources Man United shared.
Martinez also has a close relationship with Lisandro Martinez, teammate at Argentina, and is said to have rejected some other attractive offers to wait for the opportunity to join the “Red Devils”.

In the opposite direction, the future of Andre Onana at Man United is being questioned. Since joining for 47 million pounds from Inter Milan in July 2023, the Cameroon goalkeeper constantly made mistakes. Recently, Onana has reached the sights of Monaco. Meanwhile, Altay Bayindir's backup plan also does not create trust when conceding 4 goals in the defeat against Newcastle.
If Onana left, Ruben Amorim could welcome an additional South American rookie Emiliano Martinez after successfully recruiting striker Matheus Cunha from Wolves earlier for £ 62.5 million to rebuild forces for the new season.
Although only signed a 5 -year contract with a salary of £ 150,000/week, less than a year ago, Martinez still left the future after Aston Villa did not win tickets to the Champions League. The emotional farewell after the end of the season's home match, when he burst into tears and bowed to the Holte End stands, raised doubts about the possibility of leaving.
Villa is under financial pressure due to UEFA's squad cost ratio, and a suggestion of about £ 40 million for Martinez can help them balance the budget after only the sixth finish in the Premier League and win the Europa League. The Midlands team has also started to find the replacement, with Lucas Chevalier (Lille) and Marcin Bulka (Nice) on the track list.
In his hometown of Argentina, the media reported that Man United had made progress in negotiating with Martinez. However, if this deal is completed, the 32-year-old goalkeeper will not be able to participate in the opening match of the new season against Arsenal on August 17 due to suspension, after a red card in a 0-2 defeat against Man United itself in the last round of the previous season.
