According to a source, Manchester United has made contact to sign a top-tier goalkeeper in an attempt to locate a replacement for Andre Onana. However, Manchester United has already been active this summer and is committed to overcoming the setback of the previous campaign.
With the Red Devils searching for a new goalkeeper, Manchester United is also in negotiations to sign Brentford’s winger Bryan Mbeumo. The Cameroon international goalkeeper’s performances have been subpar since he joined Manchester United under Erik ten Hag’s leadership.
Man United is serious about acquiring Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa during the summer transfer window, according to a May 23 report by Fraser Fletcher, TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent. Martinez’s time at Villa is over, according to sources who spoke to TEAMtalk. The Argentina international is expected to depart Unai Emery’s team this summer.
Emiliano Martinez responds to Manchester United transfer approach
In his final match at Villa Park last month, the World Cup winner seemed to say goodbye to the fans while walking around the field with his teammates, tears in his eyes. Although the Saudi Pro League has already expressed interest in Martinez, it is believed that the 32-year-old wants to stay in Europe.
Martinez has now begun negotiations with United, and the goalie is amenable to joining Ruben Amorim’s team this summer, according to ESPN Argentina. “Talks have already begun, contacts so that Martinez can join Manchester United,” journalist Leo Paradizo stated in an interview with ESPN Argentina. He is most excited about Manchester United out of all the options he has for his immediate future.
“Yes, I can confirm that Manchester United and Martinez have already begun contact, but the clubs will take their time.” In other news, Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres has declined a move to United, stating in private that Arsenal is his top choice.
United, who earlier this month were also turned down by Liam Delap, could now pursue their original interest in either Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt or Victor Osimhen of Napoli.
