Manchester United have made a fresh move to secure Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez. With less than 48 hours of the window left, officials at Old Trafford are keeping negotiations alive as they prepare for every eventuality, reports Fabrizio Romano on X.
United’s new approach has involved direct discussions with Aston Villa and Martínez’s representatives. The Argentine World Cup winner has been admired for his commanding presence, and the club see him as a key upgrade in their rebuilding project.
“Talks remain ongoing for Senne Lammens while Man United want to be ready if deal collapses with less than 48h to go… …and new approach for Dibu took place with Villa + his camp.”
The coming days could prove decisive for both Aston Villa and Manchester United as the Martínez saga intensifies.
