Manchester United are assembling a strategic reshuffle behind the scenes, seeking to offload fringe players while targeting Premier League-proven reinforcements.
While Ruben Amorim builds an ambitious squad for the next season, United’s recruitment team are identifying Premier League talent that aligns with their playing philosophy.
Against that backdrop, United have had eyes on the transfer market, monitoring developments at clubs experiencing financial strain, where opportunities may arise to grab talent at cut-price fees.

One such situation is unfolding at Aston Villa.
Financial Fair Play concerns are prompting a potential sale of Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martinez — a player admired at Old Trafford.
According to a Bolavip report, Villa face increasing pressure under Premier League FFP regulations — and selling Martinez could help them reduce costs both in wage commitments and transfer revenue .
Manchester United have previously been linked with Emiliano Martinez, who is understood to wish to stay in England rather than move abroad — even though United will not play in Europe next term.
But no decision has been made yet on Andre Onana’s future, which is currently blocking any advancement in negotiations .
Recent developments, however, suggest another club has entered the frame.
Galatasaray — fresh from securing Leroy Sane — have initiated contact with Aston Villa about securing Emiliano Martinez, offering him a guaranteed starting role and Champions League football next season.

Yet Martinez remains keen on staying in the Premier League, eyeing national team and World Cup goals ahead of the 2026 tournament.
He’s aware that United have the resources and stature to match his ambitions.
But the key stumbling block remains Onana’s uncertain future.
United must decide whether to sell their current No.1 before pursuing Martínez — a move that could enable them to plug a major hole while keeping a reliable shot-stopper on the roster .
Villa reportedly value Martinez at between £30 and £40 million, which is a high price for a goalkeeper — albeit justified by his Premier League and international pedigree .
Should United manage to offload Onana — perhaps via a loan with obligation or a direct sale — Martinez could emerge as an attractive replacement who ticks all of Amorim’s boxes: experienced, hungry, and domestically proven.
With no shortage of interest from abroad, United’s window of opportunity may be limited.
If Onana’s future remains unresolved, Galatasaray or other suitors could step in.
