DONE DEAL: Manchester United have secured their dream signing as a prolific goal scorer officially joins the club on a five-year contract – congratulations to all United fans!
Meanwhile, reports suggest Manchester United have contacted Aston Villa to explore the possibility of signing goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez.
The Red Devils are determined to strengthen their goalkeeping department this summer but remain undecided on whether to bring in a new first-choice keeper to replace the inconsistent André Onana or sign a backup to replace Altay Bayındır, who has yet to fully convince.
Martínez has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks. Speculation intensified after what appeared to be an emotional farewell during his last home appearance for Villa—though that was later downplayed by his wife.
Over the last 24 hours, several sources have claimed the World Cup-winning Argentine has expressed interest in joining United, prompting INEOS to consider making a move.
Man United Contact Aston Villa Over Martínez
According to Diario Olé (via UtdXclusive), United have now made official contact with Aston Villa to inquire about the terms of a potential deal.
Martínez recently extended his contract with Villa until June 2029, which means the club holds strong negotiating power and could demand a substantial transfer fee.
With the 32-year-old widely regarded as one of the best in the world—praise echoed by Lionel Messi—United must now weigh whether it’s worth paying a premium for his services.
Stick with Onana or Move for Martínez?
Despite Onana’s struggles last season, reports indicate that United are not urgently looking to sell him and don’t currently view signing a new No.1 as a top priority.
However, many fans believe a fresh face in goal is essential for the team to move forward with confidence. It remains to be seen whether the club will act on that sentiment or continue with their current options heading into the new season.
