Emi Martínez Heavily Backed to Join Manchester United in Summer Transfer Window
Aston Villa’s World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez has been backed into evens with UK Betting Sites to join Manchester United this summer amid increasing doubts over André Onana’s consistency between the sticks at Old Trafford.
Reports suggest United may seek a more commanding presence in goal and Martínez, who has played a key role in Villa's resurgence, fits the profile.
Despite Villa’s success, the Red Devils are seen as a tempting next step for the 31-year-old in his career.
While United are strong favourites to sign Martinez he may still stay at Villa Park, with Unai Emery's side at 9/4 with Bet365 to keep their goalkeeper.
| Emiliano Martínez Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Man United | 1/1 | 50.0% |
| Stay at Aston Villa | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Atletico Madrid | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Any Saudi Arabian Team | 6/1 | 14.3% |
What the expert says...
What This Means for Villa and United
Villa’s qualification for the Europa League means that they can offer some form of European football to Martinez next season.
If they lose their keeper though, finding a high-calibre replacement will be essential and may be a struggle without Champions League football.
For Manchester United, signing a commanding and proven shot-stopper like Martínez would signal a shift in confidence levels at the back and be a move that could define their rebuild under manager Rúben Amorim.
