"If Man United are in the market for a new goalkeeper and an experienced one, there's not many better around than Martinez. Obviously, there was a lot of talk that he was going to leave Villa in the summer and United were the main club to show interest in him. They tried to get him on loan and that was never going to be agreed by Aston Villa."
"There was obviously interest for Martinez to make the move to Old Trafford as well. Of course the window closed with Martinez and United brought in Senne Lammens, but he's more of a long-term goalkeeper, so if they are wanting an experienced option then obviously Martinez ticks a lot of boxes for them. His long-term future at Aston Villa is still up in the air considering everything that happened in the summer, and I'm sure he could be tempted to make a move."
Emiliano Martínez's place at Aston Villa remains unsettled after summer transfer speculation and apparent farewells to supporters. Manchester United pursued Martínez in the summer, attempting to secure him on loan, but Aston Villa refused and United signed Senne Lammens as a longer-term option. Villa retained Martínez and manager Unai Emery reintegrated him into first-team plans. Insiders warn Martínez's long-term future at Villa remains fragile if results or relationships sour. A January deal would be difficult, but renewed United interest could re-emerge next summer if they seek an experienced goalkeeper.
