Martinez laments Garnacho’s Manchester goodbye…
Emi Martinez believes Manchester United has auctioned off a beloved ‘little treasure’ in Alejandro Garnacho. The Aston Villa goalkeeper was temporarily benched by Unai Emery during their bumpy 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace on Sunday—rumor has it he was more focused on shopping for red jerseys! Coach Ruben Amorim seems satisfied with his current goalie pair of Onana and Bayindir, yet the buzz around Martinez’s late move to join Manchester is gaining ground faster than a cat on rollerskates. Martinez is miffed at Garnacho’s £40million exit to Chelsea, since he had praised Garnacho’s work ethic and humility, hoping they could polish his potential to replicate the dazzling talent of players like Angel Di Maria.
Despite Martinez’s disappointment surrounding Garnacho, he might still cozy up to another familiar face at United—Lisandro Martinez, whom he described as an ‘animal’ during Argentina’s rambunctious World Cup win in 2022. But Lisandro has been on the mend with a cruciate knee injury, making folks wonder if he sprained it while doing the tango! Meanwhile, back at the Villa ranch, Martinez might just slide into Man United’s gaping goalie issues, as current keepers have been as reliable as a chocolate teapot lately. While Onana stumbled in a shootout against Grimsby Town, Bayindir’s performances have seen more slip-ups than a banana peel convention. Come deadline day, Aston Villa boss Emery dodged more questions than an Olympic skeet shooter about Martinez’s potential departure, signaling fans better hold onto their hats for deadline day drama!
