Onana drops Man Utd exit hint as 'Emi Martinez waits for Old Trafford offer'

Manchester United are reportedly interested in Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and current first-choice stopper Andre Onana has now dropped a hint about his future

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has spoken out about his future amid reports that the Red Devils are eyeing a move for World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez. Onana has endured a difficult time at Old Trafford since joining the club from Inter Milan in 2023.

The 29-year-old has made a series of high-profile errors which have prompted speculation that United could look to offload him and sign a replacement. And when asked about the rumours while attending an event in Burkina Faso, Onana told Afrik-Foot : "Will I leave? I don't know, we'll see!"

Onana's comments come after reports from Argentina claimed that Martinez is keen on a move to United. The 32-year-old has been linked with moves to a number of clubs this summer and he recently addressed the rumours while on international duty.

"My future? I don't know, I come here to play for the national team, and that's the only thing that matters to me right now," Martinez said. "Do I want to move to a new club? The transfer window just opened, so there's still a long way to go."

And Bolavip are reporting that United are the 'main option' for the Aston Villa star. The report adds that Turkish club Galatasaray have made contact with Martinez after veteran goalkeeper Fernando Muslera left the club, but the Argentine wants to remain in the Premier League.

It is claimed that Martinez is 'waiting on a call' from United, who are 'holding off' at the moment as they have not managed to sell Onana yet. And Martinez's former coach Neil Cutler, who worked with the goalkeeper at Villa, has backed him to be a success at Old Trafford.

Cutler and Martinez remain close friends and he told the Sun last month: "This summer is pivotal for Emi in terms of his career. He's been voted the best goalie in the world twice and there seems to be an opportunity for him this summer, with all of his options open.

"Big clubs are queuing up to speak to him and he either stays at a massive club like Villa or he goes to a truly world-class club. I don't think it's about money with Emi so I don't think he is ready to move to Saudi yet.

"If he does move it would be to a much bigger club — one of the really big-hitters like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico... or even Manchester United. United can't offer him Champions League football but the sheer size of the club and the size of the challenge might appeal to Emi.

"Emi has the confidence required to play for a massive club like United and would feel he could affect the club in a really positive way. He would look at United and say: 'Right, I can make this place better. I can help this club get back to where it was'."
