Premier League
Manchester United has officially activated the operation to secure Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez, the Argentine goalkeeper who shines at Aston Villa. According to journalist Gastón Edul, the Red Devils' board has already begun discussions to explore the signing of the World Cup champion, a specific request from Rubén Amorim, United's new coach who aims to make a drastic change in goalkeeping following a season marked by André Onana's inconsistency.

The Portuguese coach's desire is clear: he wants Dibu to be the goalkeeper in the 2025-26 Premier League season. Amorim believes that the Argentine possesses the necessary experience, character, and stature to lead a project from the back that aims to restore United's prominence in England and Europe. Aston Villa, on the other hand, is willing to facilitate his departure this summer, provided an offer reflecting the status of one of the best goalkeepers on the planet is received.
Manchester United Wants to Sign Dibu Martínez
Dibu Martínez has solidified his reputation in recent years not only for his successes with the Argentine national team, winning the 2022 Qatar World Cup and two Copa América titles but also for his impact on Aston Villa's growth, reaching the Champions League quarter-finals last season. His performance in goal, combined with his leadership in the dressing room, makes him a top priority for United.
The move also addresses the need to find a replacement for Onana, whose poor form and decisive errors prompted the board to seek immediate alternatives. If negotiations progress, Dibu Martínez could become one of the most talked-about transfers of the summer in the Premier League.
