Manchester United's search for a new goalkeeper is set to lead them to World Cup winner Emilio Martinez - but they face a three-way battle for his signature.
Manager Erik ten Hag is pursuing his options as negotiations over a new contract with David de Gea continue to stall. After 12 successive seasons as the United No 1, the Spaniard is out of contract this summer and should he wish to remain at Old Trafford, will have to agree to a huge pay cut from his £375,000-a-week wages.
Ten Hag has been monitoring the likes of Porto stopper Diogo Costa while the club have also been linked to England No 1 Jordan Pickford, but now Argentine hero Martinez is in the frame. The 30-year-old catapulted himself into folklore in his home country last year after he was integral to them capturing the crown for the first time since 1986.
