Manchester United is preparing to create a big shock in the transfer window when it is ready to spend 40 million pounds to recruit Emiliano Martinez goalkeeper from Aston Villa, just before the market is closed.
MU spent 40 million pounds to buy Emiliano Martinez before the deadline
Emiliano Martinez suddenly returned to Man United's target list after initial doubts about high salaries and temperament. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Man United made a new move when interacting with Aston Villa as well as the representative of the Argentine goalkeeper.

Along with that, the Old Trafford team still maintained negotiations to recruit Senne Lampens from Royal Antwerp for a fee of 20 million pounds. However, the Man United leader wants to have a backup plan in case the deal breaks down when the market is less than 48 hours.
Martinez, the 2022 World Cup champion with Argentina, is one of Villa's most important pillars under Unai Emery. However, Aston Villa is under pressure of profit and sustainability (PSR), so it may be forced to sell if you receive an attractive price.
Meanwhile, coach Ruben Amorim is said to have been impatient with Andrre Onana, a £ 43 million contract in 2023. Onana played 50 times last season but this season was only in the defeat of the League Cup against Grimsby Town, the team was playing in the 4th Division of the UK. The Altay Bayindir guard was awarded the first 3 Premier League matches in the early season, including a 3-2 dramatic victory over Burnley, but did not create peace of mind.
In the opposite direction, Aston Villa silently prepared for an equally noticeable deal. According to the Daily Mail, Unai Emery's team is targeting West Ham's Lucas Paqueta. The Brazilian midfielder is willing to search for a new berth in Europe after a turbulent year of betting. Villa is not the only team that is interested in, but they are trying to own Man City's old goals in the summer of 2023. If you receive a reasonable offer, West Ham can turn the green light to Paqueta to leave, thereby helping Aston Villa to increase the force before closing the transfer book.
