The Portuguese strategist is making an effort to bring in a new, high-quality goalkeeper during this summer transfer window.

However, according to Argentinian journalist Gaston Edul, Amorim was unable to convince the owners at Old Trafford to spend a significant amount of money on a new goalkeeper.

Manchester United have reportedly been linked with a transfer for Emiliano Martinez. SunSport previously revealed exclusively that Amorim is a huge fan of the 2022 World Cup winner.

Aston Villa could let Martinez go for around £40 million. However, so far Manchester United have only inquired about a loan deal, which was immediately rejected.

Edul shared on his YouTube channel 412: " The coaching staff, especially Amorim, want Dibu Martinez. The 32-year-old goalkeeper himself knows how much the Portuguese coach admires him."

Unfortunately, Amorim couldn't convince the board that spending money on a top-class goalkeeper for MU was important. They told him, "Andre Onana is still here."

Last year, Dibu Martinez signed a five-year contract with Aston Villa. However, he is reportedly set to leave this summer after waving goodbye to fans during his final match of the season.

Besides Martinez, MU are also eyeing Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG), Verbruggen (Brighton) and Senne Lammens (Antwerp).
