Manchester United might be getting a new addition to their squad in the form of Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The Argentine shot-stopper has been making headlines recently, with rumors swirling about a possible move to Old Trafford. Martinez, who still has four years left on his contract with Villa, has hinted at a potential departure, sparking interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, Atletico Madrid, and United.
Martinez has been vocal about his admiration for two potential teammates at Manchester United, Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho. The trio has a history, having played together during Argentina’s successful World Cup and Copa America campaigns. Despite being sidelined with an ACL injury since February, Martinez seems keen on a new challenge, with Old Trafford being a potential destination.
The Argentine goalkeeper has praised Lisandro Martinez as an “animal” and has shown support for Garnacho, describing him as a “little treasure” with the potential to be as impactful as Angel Di Maria. As Villa prepares to face United in their season finale, Martinez’s future remains uncertain, especially with rumors of Garnacho’s possible departure in the summer. With United aiming for a 14th-place finish and Villa in the running for a Champions League spot, the upcoming match could have significant implications for both clubs.
