Emiliano Martinez continues to be linked with a move to Manchester United whilst Marcus Rashford is ready to return to his boyhood club despite his issues with Ruben Amorim
Manchester United’s summer has made a lot of noise but so far the only major transfer to take place in the arrival of Matheus Cunha – who joined from Wolves for just over £60million.
The Red Devils remain on the hunt for more firepower but look as if they could miss out on Viktor Gyokeres, who would prefer to head elsewhere. The club are keen on Bryan Mbeumo but have had offers rejected as Brentford hold out for their hefty asking price.
A new goalkeeper could also be on Ruben Amorim‘s radar after seeing Andre Onana make a number of notable errors. He has been linked with the exit door despite having a desire to prove he can cut in at Old Trafford.
Replacements have been eyed though with World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez cited as a possible summer target. His future has been the subject of speculation, even if Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has dismissed any suggestion he could leave. Here’s the latest transfer rumours from the red side of Manchester.
Martinez holding out for move
Martinez is already sold on the idea of joining United this summer and is said to have rebuffed offers from ‘big-hitters’ in the hope of pushing through a dream switch to Old Trafford. There has been speculation that Martinez could move on with Villa potentially needing to sell in order to meet Profit and Sustainability Rules.

The Sun now claims that Martinez is ‘desperate’ to push through a move to United despite the fact that the Red Devils are coming off the back of their worst ever Premier League campaign.
And it’s even been suggested that the Villa star has ignored offers from other top clubs in order to remain available for United. A source told the publication: “Emi is big pals with Argentina team-mate Lisandro Martinez and is keen to move. He has already knocked back a couple of big hitters in the hope of joining United.
Rashford’s return plan
Marcus Rashford is planning to return to training with United next month if a deal for him to leave the club hasn’t been agreed, according to ESPN. The forward spent the last six months out on loan at Aston Villa after being frozen out under Amorim.
No bids have yet been received despite well documented interest in Rashford and, as things stand, the 27-year-old will report back to Carrington to begin his pre-season preparations.
It is understood that Amorim is yet to make a decision about whether Rashford and a number of the other fringe players will join the team on their summer tour to the United States. Antony, Alejandro Garnacho or Jadon Sancho all face uncertain futures and may not been included.
Monaco eye two Prem keepers – including Onana
Monaco are torn between pursing two Premier League goalkeepers but could yet offer Andre Onana a route out of Manchester after two difficult years. French outlet L’Equipe have claimed that Monaco are looking to add a new shotstopper to their squad.
They want to upgrade their current options with Radoslaw Madecki and Philipp Kohn currently on their books. Onana is one player who has been shortlisted along with Chelsea’s Djordje Petrovic.
Onana has remained the No 1 at Old Trafford, albeit he was dropped briefly last term, whilst Petrovic has slipped down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge as Robert Sanchez established himself as first choice.
