TRANSFER COMPLETE: Manchester United have officially landed their dream signing, with a prolific striker joining the club on a five-year contract — congratulations to the United faithful!
Meanwhile, reports indicate that United have made formal contact with Aston Villa to explore a potential move for goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
As the summer transfer window unfolds, Manchester United remain determined to strengthen their goalkeeping department.
The club is currently weighing whether to bring in a new first-choice goalkeeper to replace Andre Onana, who struggled in his debut season, or to sign a more reliable backup to replace Altay Bayindir.
Martinez has been closely linked with a move to Old Trafford, with speculation intensifying after what appeared to be an emotional farewell at Villa Park, though later downplayed by his wife.
According to Diario Ole via *UtdXclusive*, United have now officially reached out to Villa to inquire about the conditions of a potential deal.
Despite recently extending his contract until June 2029, the Argentine World Cup winner is reportedly open to the switch, prompting INEOS to act. However, Villa are in a strong negotiating position and may demand a significant fee.
Lionel Messi has hailed Martinez as one of the world’s best goalkeepers, but at 32, some question whether a big-money move makes long-term sense.
Though Onana is still under contract and not expected to be sold imminently, fan sentiment appears to lean toward a change in goal. It remains to be seen if United will move forward with securing Martinez or stick with their current options for the upcoming season.
