Manchester United are tied to the moves of Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper could move this summer, and he could cost him around £305 million. According to football insiders, Manchester United are keeping an eye on him, but the player’s movements depend on selling Andre Onana to them.
Cameroon’s goalkeeper has been pretty overwhelming since his move to Manchester United. His mistakes cost the team valuable points. Manchester United should aim to remove players and introduce upgrades in the summer.
Man United needs Emiliano Martinez
They cannot expect a world-class keeper to challenge major trophies without the freedom to use them. Martinez has proven himself for the club and country for many years. He is a world-class goalkeeper and helps them improve significantly. He helped Argentina win the World Cup and Copa America. He is now looking to win major trophies at the club level. He moved to a big club like Manchester United, which could be very exciting for him.
The player has offers from Saudi Arabian clubs, but he wants to continue playing European football for now. Manchester United must make the most of their opportunities to sign players this summer.
Andre Onana has to move on
It remains to be seen whether they will be able to find a suitable destination for Onana. The former Milan goalkeeper is pretty mediocre and ideally he will move on. He has been heavily criticised for his performance, and a fresh start from the spotlight would be ideal for him.
As for Martinez, he was well settled in the Premier League and was able to quickly influence at Old Trafford. It is still unknown how the situation will develop.
