Manchester United have been linked with a move for the Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez throughout the summer transfer window.

A report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football has claimed that Manchester United have no interest in Emiliano Martinez. The Argentine International has been linked with top clubs in recent months, but it seems that he might end up staying at the West Midlands club, although a move to Turkiye may be on the cards.

Aston Villa paid £17 million to sign Martinez half a decade ago, and he has been exceptional in the Premier League over the last few seasons. The 2022 FIFA World Cup winner is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the country. He could have been an exceptional acquisition for Manchester United.

It is no secret that Manchester United need a reliable goalkeeper, especially with the way Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir have performed. The Red Devils have been eager to replace them, and Martinez would have been an exceptional addition.

The 32-year-old is a world-class player, and he has shown that with club and country. He has helped Argentina win the World Cup and the Copa America. He will hope to win major trophies at the club level as well, and joining Manchester United could have been ideal for him; the player also actively pushed for a deal.

Martinez would have hoped for a big move

Emiliano Martinez will certainly be disappointed with the decision from Manchester United. The Red Devils are expected to sign Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp. It appears that they do not want to move for another goalkeeper this summer. The Red Devils will rely on the Belgian to be their first-choice goalkeeper for the remainder of the campaign.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa will certainly be delighted with the situation. They will not want to weaken the squad at the stage of the window. The transfer window closes later today, and they will struggle to replace a world-class goalkeeper like him if he moves on.

Unai Emery has put together a competitive squad, and Aston Villa will look to compete in Europe regularly. The Villans will fight for trophies as well, and they need to keep their players for that to happen. Keeping Martinez at the club would be ideal for them.

The Argentine goalkeeper is at the peak of his career, and this could have been the right time for him to take on a new challenge, but the move to Manchester United is highly unlikely. However, recent reports suggest a move to Galatasaray may be on the cards.
