Manchester United are working to sign Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa during the summer window.
According to a report from Argentine publication TYC Sports, the two clubs are currently in talks to get the deal done. It remains to be seen whether they can finalise an agreement quickly. The report claims that Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has personally requested the club to sign the World Cup winner.
Aston Villa are also looking at alternatives. Meanwhile, Chelsea are keen on Martinez as well.
Emiliano Martinez is a world-class keeper
Martinez is a top-quality player who has proven himself for club and country over the years. He helped Argentina win the World Cup in 2022 with exceptional performances in the tournament. He has been a reliable performer in the Premier League over the years as well. He has been labelled as an “incredible” player in the past.
There is no doubt that he is good enough for the biggest clubs in the world, and the move to Manchester United would be ideal for him. Aston Villa have an exciting project, but they are not quite at the level required to challenge for major trophies. While Manchester United have struggled in recent seasons as well, they have the resources to put together for side and fight for trophies next year.
They are also one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. The South American will be attracted to the idea of joining them. He has previously failed to establish himself as a key player for a big club like Arsenal, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level this time around.
Man United have moved swiftly
The report claims that clubs like Barcelona, Galatasaray and other Saudi Arabian outfits are keen on the player as well. However, Manchester United have moved quickly, and Amorim wants a leader like him on the side.
It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can negotiate an agreement now.

it’s a no brainer, he is class, I don’t understand why villa are prepared to let him go , and he’s a much better keeper than onana. Get the deal done asap.
He’s the sort of goalkeeper we should have signed when Ten Hag chose Onana who turned out to be another ex Ajax failure at the club. This player is a massive upgrade on Onana or should I say banana given the slippery hands he’s had since arriving at Old Trafford.
The way this transfer window is shaping up, lets hope that United and Villa can do some business:
– United need a Goalkeeper, and Martinez (whilst not my choice), would be a good buy. United should offer Bayindir and £10,m.
– United need a centre forward, and Watkins (again not my choice) would be a good option. United should offer Garnacho as a straight swap.
This would rid Villa of two ageing players, and get two players and cash in exchange. Bayindir would get to be a club No. 1, whilst Garnacho would get to continue to play in the Premier League.
