A “world-class” star is reportedly waiting on Manchester United** to make their move during the summer transfer window, according to a fresh and exciting report.
United Still Chasing a New Striker
After a dismal season that saw them finish 15th in the Premier League, Manchester United are still searching for attacking reinforcements. One key issue last campaign was the lack of a reliable top-class striker.
With growing concerns over Rasmus Hojlund’s long-term suitability, United are being linked with high-profile forwards. Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres is believed to be a primary target, and the club has allegedly already held talks with his representatives.
The Swedish international has been in sensational form for Sporting, scoring 68 goals in the last two Primeira Liga seasons and adding 11 more in European competitions.
Other names like Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt and Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta have also been mentioned as possible alternatives as United aim to lock down their striker options ahead of the new season.
### World Cup-Winning Keeper Waiting on United
But attention has also turned to the goalkeeping position, with a new report from *TyC Sports* (via *Sport Witness*) revealing that **Emiliano Martinez is “waiting” for Manchester United** to approach him for a summer move.
The 32-year-old Aston Villa goalkeeper, who earns £150,000 per week, is attracting interest from clubs like Galatasaray but is believed to prefer a switch to Old Trafford—even without the lure of Champions League football.
Martinez would be a timely addition, especially as doubts grow over Andre Onana’s suitability as the club’s long-term No. 1. The Argentine is widely regarded as one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League and Europe, having won the 2024 FIFA Best Men’s Goalkeeper award—beating the likes of Donnarumma, Ederson, and Maignan.
Renowned for his commanding presence and leadership, Martinez played a key role in Argentina’s 2022 World Cup victory, especially with his penalty shootout heroics in the final. He has earned praise from former players like Gary Neville, who called him “world-class,” and was also commended by Nuno Espirito Santo for an extraordinary save last season.
Beyond his goalkeeping skills, Martinez brings a strong personality and winning mentality—traits United desperately need in their rebuild. His ability to rattle opponents and lift teammates could make him a fan favourite at Old Trafford, while his prime years as a keeper still lie ahead.
