The Red Devils have been active in the transfer market, backed by INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, providing Ruben Amorim with funds to strengthen the squad.
However, they face challenges offloading some surplus players.
Matheus Cunha joined United from Wolves in a £62.5 million deal, while Paraguayan youngster Diego Leon arrived from Cerro Porteño.
Bryan Mbeumo became their third signing, completing a £71 million transfer from Brentford after lengthy negotiations.
Amid these moves, rumors linked Manchester United to new goalkeepers, with Martinez a notable target due to Andre Onana’s poor form last season.
Fans hoped Onana would be replaced.
Earlier reports suggested United made a “shock bid” and submitted a loan proposal for Martinez, which Aston Villa officials immediately rejected, reports Football 365.
However, Argentine outlet Clarin now claims Manchester United have “cooled” their pursuit of Martinez.
The club reportedly does not want to meet the goalkeeper’s £50 million release clause.
There are growing talks that Martinez might consider moving outside the Premier League, with a tempting offer from Saudi Arabia reportedly on the table.
This “exotic destination” could be his next move if United step back.
