OFFICIAL: Manchester United Land Star Striker on Five-Year Deal, Eyes Turn to Goalkeeping ReinforcementsManchester United have officially announced the signing of their top attacking target, bringing in a prolific goal scorer on a five-year contract.
The long-anticipated deal marks a major boost to the club’s summer plans, with fans celebrating the arrival of a proven finisher.
While that deal is now sealed, United’s attention is shifting to their goalkeeping situation.
According to multiple reports, the club has initiated contact with Aston Villa to explore a potential move for World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez.
United are reportedly debating whether to sign a new first-choice keeper to replace the inconsistent André Onana or simply bring in a more reliable backup, as Altay Bayındır has yet to fully impress.
Martínez has recently been linked with a move to Old Trafford, with rumors intensifying after what seemed to be an emotional send-off in his final home appearance for Villa — although his wife later dismissed the speculation.
Nonetheless, the Argentine is said to be open to the move, prompting INEOS to seriously consider the option.As reported by Diario Olé (via UtdXclusive), United have formally approached Aston Villa to inquire about the terms of a possible deal. However, with Martínez under contract until June 2029, Villa are in a strong position to demand a significant transfer fee.
Despite public criticism over Onana’s performances last season, United are reportedly not rushing to replace him. The club may prioritize strengthening other areas first, unless Martínez becomes available on terms they consider favorable.
As the transfer window progresses, United will need to decide whether to continue backing Onana or invest in a new goalkeeper. With fan sentiment calling for changes, the club faces a key decision in shaping their defensive stability for the upcoming campaign.
