Manchester United have earmarked Emiliano Martinez as the ideal Andre Onana replacement with the Argentine international keen on the move.

According to Fichajes, Manchester United are keen to lure in Emiliano Martinez as Andre Onana’s replacement. The Red Devils view the Argentine keeper as their ideal target for the position and the player is open to making the move, although it would take £40 million to convince Aston Villa.

Aston Villa are in a tricky position heading into the June 30 PSR deadline, which could have repercussions on their season if they cannot find a solution to balance their financial books. The Birmingham-based side are thought to be a bit behind in their commitments to steer clear of the financial regulation, which could see them sell a top player from their squad.

There are a host of options, although most of them come with challenges to sell in a short span between now and June 30. Emiliano Martinez is probably the player they could sell at the earliest, with interest from Manchester United mounting in the keeper.

Aston Villa want £40 million for the stopper, with Atletico Madrid also keen on the Argentine. Some reports stated that Martinez would be open to joining the Spanish giants, although now it appears he might have offered himself to Manchester United ahead of the coming period, as per Give Me Sport.

Manchester United are on the fence about signing a new keeper, although they are utterly unhappy with Andre Onana’s performances. A report indicated that Ruben Amorim might keep Onana, although that might be in the case the club fails to sign an able replacement for his position.

Manchester United are still undecided on Emiliano Martinez

Manchester United reportedly prefer Martinez to replace Onana over other options, and yet, they are undecided over the £40m-rated Aston Villa star. The fee is quite high for their liking, which could point towards an imminent round of talks on the table with the Premier League rivals.

Manchester United have intensified their efforts on Martinez, and yet no official bid has been lodged so far. Whether one arrives in the coming period remains to be seen, but with the £40m-rated Aston Villa star now open to making the move to Old Trafford, things will depend on the final fee that Aston Villa might demand, as well as Manchester United’s ability to get a deal done in a specified period.
