Manchester United have made a new approach for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, according to GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Fabrizio Romano.
The Old Trafford side have contacted both Villa and the Argentina international’s camp over a potential late move, having identified Martinez 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.
