Emi Martinez desperately tries to push through Man Utd transfer with Ruben Amorim a huge admirer of Aston Villa star
EMILIANO MARTINEZ is desperately trying to push through a dream move to Manchester United. And Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim is weighing up his goalkeeping options and has not ruled out a new number one with Andre Onana emerging as a target for Monaco. 4 4 4 Amorim wants 'captains and leaders' in his squad and the Man Utd chief has been a long-term admirer of the Aston Villa stopper, 32, who has been named Fifa's best goalkeeper twice in the last three years. A source said: 'Emi is big pals with Argentina team-mate Lisandro Martinez and is keen to move. He has already knocked back a couple of big hitters in the hope of joining United. 'Amorim is a huge admirer of his. He tried to sign him for Sporting in 2020 but lost out to Villa. He wants to fill the squad with captains and leaders and Emi fits the bill perfectly.' Amorim has already landed Brazil and Wolves forward Matheus Cunha in a £62.5million deal after beginning to reshape his squad for the new Premier League season. But now the Portuguese coach could land another South American in Argentina World Cup winner Martinez with question marks over Onana and understudy Altay Bayindir. Onana has been linked with an Old Trafford exit after a number of high-profile blunders since joining from Inter Milan for £47m in July 2023 and Monaco are exploring a deal for the 29-year-old. Bayindir also did not cover himself in glory when he conceded four in a loss at Newcastle after he was given the chance to replace error-prone Onana. Martinez signed a new five-year £150,000-a-week deal with Villa less than a year ago, but the Midlands club failed to qualify for the Champions League. Any bid of around £40m would ease Villa's financial concerns to satisfy Uefa's squad cost ratio after Unai Emery's side finished sixth in the Prem and secured Europa League football. He sparked speculation over his future after he broke down in tears and took a bow in front of the Holte End after Villa's final home game of the season. Martinez has been previously linked with Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and clubs in Saudi Arabia. Reports in his homeland of Argentina claimed Man Utd were 'advancing in talks' to bring him to Manchester. However, even if a deal is done, Amorim will be without him for the season opener at home to Arsenal on August 17 following a red card - ironically against Man Utd - in a 2-0 loss on the final day of the season last month. Villa have been looking for keepers themselves and have made contact with Lille over £40m-rated stopper Lucas Chevalier. Nice's Polish keeper Marcin Bulka is also on Villa's radar. 4

Emi Martinez 'green lights Man Utd transfer' as Aston Villa star eyes move
Manchester United continue to eye Emiliano Martinez and have opened talks with the Aston Villa goalkeeper, who faces an uncertain future after a tearful end to the season Aston Villa's Emi Martinez is keen on a move to Manchester United with talks reportedly ongoing over a move. The goalkeeper is facing an uncertain future with numerous parties interested in his services. The Argentine's career has flourished since he moved to Villa Park from Arsenal back in 2020. Martinez has helped Villa become a Champions League outfit whilst he's also earned a reputation as a penalty specialist. He was integral in Argentina's World Cup win back in 2022 and is viewed as one of Europe's elite goalkeepers. Now teams in the Saudi Pro League are interested in a move but a switch to Manchester could also be on the cards for the 32-year-old. According to ESPN Argentina United have now begun discussions with Martinez, who is open to joining Ruben Amorim's side. It is understood that a switch to Old Trafford is his favoured destination even if a move is not imminent. The Villa No 1 was sent-off in the final game of the Premier League season as his side were beaten by the Red Devils, which meant they ultimately missed out on a second successive year in the Champions League. Unai Emery remained non-committal over whether the player would remain. He said: 'I don't know. I don't know. He has a contract with us. We are very happy and we will see how the summer goes.' Asked if there have been discussions over Martinez leaving, Emery added: 'I don't know. You can ask him.' Martinez stoked the rumour mill as he appeared to wave farewell to supporters in his final game at Villa Park. He cut an emotional figure as he cried during his lap around the pitch with his team-mates. United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been unable to convince during his two years at the club. He was signed as David de Gea's replacement by Erik ten Hag but has continued to make errors and was eventually dropped by Amorim after a poor performance at Lyon. There has been interest from the Middle East in the former Ajax and Inter Milan goalkeeper and Onana has done little to quash the speculation as he told Actu Cameroun: "Will I leave? I don't know, we'll see!" Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Man Utd target 'waiting for transfer' as Ruben Amorim's side consider move
Emiliano Martinez is still interested in a move to Manchester United as they weigh up a move for the Aston Villa goalkeeper, according to reports in Argentina. Martinez, who signed from Arsenal for £17m back in 2020, has an uncertain future at Villa and was visibly upset as he walked around the ground following the final home game of last season. Villa's difficult financial situation has led to speculation Martinez could be sold this summer, with several Premier League clubs linked with moves. There has also been attention outside England, however, with TyC Sports suggesting that Galatasaray are willing to make an offer as they seek to replace long-time first choice Fernando Muslera. Additional reports, however, suggest that Martinez is not looking to leave the Premier League and is 'waiting for' an approach from United.

United are said to be happy to 'entertain offers' to sell Onana, who has previously attracted interest from Saudi Arabia. Martinez was asked about his future at Aston Villa ahead of Argentina's recent World Cup qualifiers and refused to play down speculation he could be set for a summer move. 'My future? I don't know, I come here to play for the national team, and that's the only thing that matters to me right now,' he said. More Trending 'Do I want to move to a new club? The transfer window just opened, so there's still a long way to go.' Villa manager Unai Emery, meanwhile, gave a defiant response to the Martinez transfer rumours on the final day of last Premier League season. TNT Sports reporter Jules Breach said: 'Will today potentially be the final time we see Emiliano Martinez play for Aston Villa?' 'No way,' Emery replied.
