Man Utd Submits Loan Bid for Aston Villa Goalkeeper Martinez

Manchester United have failed in their attempt to sign Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez on loan, as Villa officials rejected the proposal, insisting on permanent offers only. Martínez, valued at around £40 million, remains a target for United, who are also exploring other goalkeeping options like Royal Antwerp's Senne Lammens, with reports indicating that an official bid for Lammens, valued between £13-17 million, is expected soon. United's goalkeeping situation has been complicated by André Onana's injury, and the club is actively seeking to strengthen this position alongside other areas such as striker and central midfield. While Martínez is keen on a move to Manchester, Villa is unwilling to entertain anything less than a permanent deal. Lammens, preferred by both Leeds United and Manchester United, appears to favor a move to a top European league, with United's interest becoming more concrete. United's summer transfer activity has included securing Bryan Mbeumo, but they continue to prioritize finding a reliable goalkeeper to address defensive vulnerabilities.
