"Manchester United have agreed a deal for Emiliano Martinez of Aston Villa. The Red Devils are in a state of flux right now in the goalkeeping department, with Andre Onana banished to cup games and under significant scrutiny in Manchester United's now-infamous League Cup exit to Grimsby Town and Altay Bayindir failing to impress as his backup. After being linked with Aston Villa stopper Emi Martinez, however, it now appears as if the Red Devils have struck a deal for the World Cup winner."
"Ranked at no.9 in FourFourTwo's list of the best goalkeepers in the world right now, Martinez looked visibly emotional in Aston Villa's final home game of last season, with links persisting that he could be about to move to Saudi Arabia. While the Argentine played last week for Unai Emery's side after returning from suspension following his red card on the final day of last season, he was absent from last night's squad,"
Manchester United have reportedly reached personal terms with Emiliano Martinez of Aston Villa amid a troubled goalkeeping situation. Andre Onana has been restricted to cup games and faces criticism after a League Cup exit, while Altay Bayindir has not impressed as backup. Martinez is ranked ninth by FourFourTwo and appeared emotional in Villa's final home game amid Saudi Arabia transfer links. He returned from suspension to play but was later absent from a squad, prompting an odd pre-match mention of Marco Bizot. Journalist Cesar Luis Merlo reports terms agreed, but Villa may yet refuse to let him go; United also consider Sanne Lemmens depending on departures.
