Manchester United have made a new approach for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, according to GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent and European transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
United have contacted both Villa and theMartinez’s camp over a potential late move, having identified thr World Cup winner as an alternative to Royal Antwerp shot-stopper Senne Lammens.
While talks for Lammens’ arrival are ongoing, United want to be prepared in case the deal collapses, with Martinez remaining on their goalkeeper shortlist.
United targeted a move for the 2022 World Cup winner in July but saw their loan proposal rebuffed by Villa, who would likely need to sign a replacement before allowing Martinez to leave this late in the window.

The Villans are also believed to be interested in Lammens, who is a long-term target for United and is thought to be keen on a late switch to Old Trafford.
Romano, writing on X, revealed that Martinez remains on Man United’s goalkeeper shortlist with two days left in the summer transfer window.
