OFFICIAL: Manchester United have landed their top transfer target as a prolific goal-scorer signs a five-year deal – Big win for the Red Devils!
Meanwhile, Manchester United have reportedly contacted Aston Villa to explore the possibility of signing Emiliano Martinez.
The club is determined to strengthen their goalkeeping department this summer but is still undecided whether to bring in a new first-choice keeper to replace the inconsistent Andre Onana, or a reliable backup to challenge Altay Bayindir, who has yet to fully impress.
Martinez has been a frequent name in recent transfer rumours, especially after what appeared to be an emotional farewell to Villa fans in his last home game — a gesture his wife later denied.
In the past day, fresh reports suggest the World Cup-winning goalkeeper is keen on joining United, encouraging INEOS to step in and attempt a deal to lure him away from Villa Park.

As per Diario Ole (via UtdXclusive), United have formally approached Aston Villa to discuss the terms of a potential transfer.
Martinez is under contract until June 2029 after renewing earlier this season, giving Villa a strong hand in negotiations and the power to demand a hefty fee for the 32-year-old, whom Lionel Messi once praised as the “best in the world.”
Stick with Onana or make a move?
Despite Onana’s ongoing errors, United are reportedly not in a rush to sell him, and bringing in a new goalkeeper isn’t considered an urgent need by the club’s hierarchy.
However, many fans believe a fresh face in goal could provide much-needed stability next season — leaving the final decision in the hands of the management.
