Aston Villa boss Unai Emery sends message on Emi Martinez future amid Manchester United question

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery hopes to see Emiliano Martinez win "many trophies" at Aston Villa after the goalkeeper's dad hinted at a future move.

Martinez was named the Best FIFA Men's Goalkeeper earlier this week, following a sensational showing as Argentina won the World Cup in Qatar. The 30-year-old's incredible rise since leaving Arsenal has reportedly caught the eye of a number of Europe's top clubs.
