Man United interested in Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez?

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez this summer.

The former Arsenal stopper has impressed for the Villains since signing for the club in September, keeping 14 clean sheets in the Premier League.

According to Football Insider, United are planning to let both David de Gea and Sergio Romero leave the club this summer as part of a major overhaul, with Martinez one of their main targets.

As well as the Argentine, the Red Devils are also believed to be monitoring Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak, AC Milan's Gianluigi Donnarumma and Burnley's Nick Pope.

Dean Henderson is viewed as United's long-term number one, but head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would like to bring in two senior goalkeepers to bolster his options and provide more competition.

Martinez, who joined Villa in a deal worth around £20m, has been one of the standout signings of this season amongst Premier League clubs, helping Dean Smith's side climb up to ninth in the table.
