TA: Martin plans to return to Villa s lineup after international match day, and his situation depends on his attitude

According to Theathletic, according to sources close to Emiliano Martinez and Villa, after failing to transfer to Manchester United, the Argentine goalkeeper plans to return to the team's roster after international match day and be used by the team. However, the situation of Martin on the team still depends on his attitude and his future is still uncertain. Previously, 33-year-old Martinez was not included in the roster against Crystal Palace.

Martinez was allegedly waiting for Manchester United's call at Villa's training base on the day of the transfer deadline, but ultimately received no news as the Red Devils decided to sign Antwerp's Ramons. Martinez's willingness to join Manchester United was very clear, and even asked his national teammate and Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez to win a chance for him, but in the end he failed.

When Ramens is about to sign Manchester United, Martinez flew to Argentina to participate in the World Cup qualifiers. Argentina national team coach Scaloni said: "Martinez is in good condition. Although his transfer is not successful, I am happy to see him. He is certainly excited about joining Manchester United, but he is a positive person. He has focused on the national team and will do so when he returns to the club."

Given the poor start of the season and the downturn caused by the summer transfer window due to financial restrictions, Emery and the team must have a clear solution to Martinez's problem. They can't let this issue continue to be a topic for the next few weeks and months. At least one solution or compromise is to be found until January reevaluated for the future of the World Cup champion.

Villa internally believes that Martinez's substitute Bizzot has proved himself a qualified second goalkeeper, despite losing a penalty against Crystal Palace. Bizot is a deal that satisfies many Villa employees in the summer signing, partly due to the lower costs. However, it is unquestionable that Martinez is a better goalkeeper, and his overall performance and ability provide Villa with additional toughness and strength when in good shape.
