In a dramatic transfer deadline twist, Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martínez is on the verge of joining Manchester United.

The World Cup-winning Argentine has reportedly informed Villa of his desire to move to Old Trafford. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Martínez has already agreed personal terms with Erik ten Hag’s side.

“Clear message again after the game as personal terms are agreed with Manchester United,” Romano confirmed on X.

United fans are hopeful that the experienced shot-stopper will finally solve the club’s goalkeeper troubles. Current options André Onana and Altay Bayındır have come under fire for costly errors, leaving supporters frustrated.

The Red Devils, who secured their first win of the season with a 3-2 victory over Burnley on Saturday, are also in talks to sign Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp as additional cover.

If completed, Martínez’s move could be one of the most significant deals of the summer, bringing stability and leadership between the sticks for Manchester United.
