Manchester United are being linked with a move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez.
The World Cup winner - according to Football Transfers - is also of interest to Chelsea. Martinez is an international teammate of United defender Lisandro Martinez, with manager Erik ten Hag said to have been appealed by the chance to unite the duo at club level. Inter shot-stopper Andre Onana is another goalkeeper in the frame.
David de Gea is yet to negotiate a new contract at Old Trafford and it remains to be seen whether his 12-year stay at United comes to an end this summer. Martinez is reportedly the 'perfect replacement' in the eyes of Ten Hag, with the 30-year-old claimed to be pursuing Champions League football.
Elsewhere, United have reportedly been holding talks with the agent of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.

The Old Trafford side are looking to sign a new first-choice centre-forward this summer, with moves for Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen doubtful due to their respective price tags. Rasmus Hojlund, Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolu Muani remain possibilities, but it is Vlahovic's name which is now being mentioned.
Calciomercato (via TeamTalk) claim that United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all been speaking to the Serbian's representative. He scored 14 goals in 42 matches for the Italian side last season, with Vlahovic not quite hitting the heights expected in Turin. Vlahovic won't come cheap, though, according to the report. Juventus are said to value him at €90million.
