Manchester United are considering Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez. They are looking at him as a replacement for a high-profile keeper they’re ready to part ways with.
Emiliano Martinez on Man Utd Radar as Onana Exit Looms
Manchester United are ready to make changes in their goalkeeping unit this June. All signs point to Emiliano Martinez being their top target. Andre Onana’s poor form over the last two seasons has been a big worry. Ruben Amorim, the manager of Utd, is also open to selling him. Already, Onana’s exit has raised interest from Saudi Arabia.
The Red Devils are actively looking for options before making any sale. Altay Bayindir hasn’t convinced the coaching staff yet. A world-class shot-stopper is now added to the list. This is where **Aston Villa**‘s Martinez comes in. The Argentine World Cup winner has a market value of £40 million, according to talkSPORT. His last home game seemed like a farewell to the Villa fans. So, the door looks wide open for a move.
Villa Open to Sale Amid Financial Pressure
Unai Emery must make one sale by the time the clock strikes midnight on June 30. They must make sure that they adhere to the financial fair play regulations. Given that, the Argentine is seen as a big asset. While Saudi clubs are lining up, the keeper prefers to stay in Europe.

Atletico Madrid are showing interest in the Argentine as well. Also, Utd have failed to secure a UCL spot after their loss to Spurs in the Europa League final. Villa, on the other hand, are also finding it hard to book their UCL spot.
Interestingly, Emery’s side have already started looking for options. **Liverpool**’s Caoimhin Kelleher is coming up as a key target for them.
At 32, Martinez wouldn’t be a long-term fix at the club. So, this could be a great signing should Villa manage to land the Reds’ keeper.
