TA Exclusive: Martin, the Big One, personally called Amorin + Lima to join Manchester United, ask him for help

Hupu September 2nd News TheAthleticUK Villa and Manchester United followers exclusively, Emiliano Martinez stayed at Aston Villa's training ground Body Morheath on the transfer deadline, waiting for the call to transfer to Manchester United, but the call never came.

The 32-year-old Aston Villa goalkeeper did not hide his desire to transfer to Old Trafford this summer, and even contacted his Argentine teammate, Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez, asking him to try to win support for him within Manchester United, and another Martinez did.

According to people familiar with the matter, Emmy Martinez also talked with Ruben Amorin about the transfer in June and July. It is reported that the Manchester United head coach believes that the character and experience of the World Cup champion are good for his team. To protect the relationship between the two parties, the people familiar with the matter asked to be anonymous.

But it was not until Martinez returned to Birmingham to participate in the preseason and Villa received a call to inquire about the loan matters that the two sides officially contacted.

However, the expected deal did not make any further progress, and at the deadline, United instead agreed to sign Sene Lamons from Real Antwerp.

From a purely economic perspective, Martinez's transfer also seems very difficult. According to the contract signed last summer (valid until 2029), he has earned more than Onana, and Villa requested a transfer fee of more than £30 million.

As the end time of 7 p.m. on Monday, Martinez finally left Villa's training ground and flew to Argentina to join Lionel Scaloni's team to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Ecuador.

Manchester United, Aston Villa and Martinez's team declined to comment.
