Manchester United have launched a move to sign former Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The Red Devils see the Argentine as the ideal replacement for Andre Onana.
As per a report by ESPN Argentina, Manchester United have started talks with Martinez as they look to bring him in this summer. They are yet to speak to Aston Villa, but are sorting out personal terms before making the bid.
Journalist Leo Paradizo was the first to report the news and said on ESPN via METRO:
The quotes come just hours after Andre Onana put his Manchester United future in the balance. The goalkeeper refused to confirm if he will be at Old Trafford next season amid reports that the club were looking to sell him to Neom SC in Saudi Arabia.
Speaking to AfrikFoot via The Sportzine, Onana said:
Meanwhile, Martinez hinted at an exit from Aston Villa this summer. He has been linked with the Saudi Pro League, while Barcelona were also said to be keeping tabs.
Phil Jones was talking to OLBG earlier this month when he urged Manchester United to sign Emiliano Martinez. He admitted that the Red Devils need an improvement on Andre Onana and said:
Manchester United have sealed the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton and remain in talks to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Tottenham.
