Andre Onana has shown he cannot bear the responsibility as Manchester United’s goalkeeper rock. World-class saves are replaced by solid and decisive blunders. In Argentina, the goalkeeper, who has been named the world’s best goalkeeper for two years, is getting ready to take charge at Old Trafford.
According to TyC Sports , Manchester United management approached Aston Villa in January for a potential Martinez signing, but were put off by Villa’s asking price. Now the season is over, Martinez is clearly in exit mode and Manchester United can’t ignore they have a huge challenge between the sticks with Onana and Altay Bayındır.

Former Aston Villa goalkeeper coach Neil Cutler told the Sun earlier this month that Martinez and Manchester United are made for each other.
“United can’t offer him Champions League football, but the club’s sheer size and the challenge may appeal to Emi. Emi has the confidence required to play for a big club like United, and he would feel that he could impact the club in a very positive way. He would look at United and say, ‘Okay, I can make this place better.'” I can help this club back to where it was. Here it’s about the challenge, about the drive and the desire, so I think United would suit him.

Now Argentine ESPN reports that goalkeeper Lionel Messi hails as the best of the best, is on his way to Old Trafford:
-Talks have already started, contacts so that Martinez can join Manchester United. Of all the options he has in his near future, Manchester United is the one that excites him the most. The clubs will take their time, but yes, I can confirm that the contact between Manchester United and Martinez has already started…. Dibu Martínez already knows that Manchester United want him in goal next season, reports ESPN.
Martinez is the goalkeeper who really gets under the skin of the opponents, creates calm and security for his own defense – and delivers consistently at a very high level in the world’s toughest league and for world champion Argentina. Exactly what Manchester United need.
