The Argentine goalkeeper has reportedly agreed to join United, with a €25 million release clause in his contract making the move possible.
Martinez has excelled since leaving Arsenal for Villa in 2020, becoming one of the top shot-stoppers in club and international football.
His heroics for Argentina, including winning the World Cup and Copa America twice, have boosted his global reputation significantly.
Martinez is determined to win trophies at club level, and sees Manchester United as the ideal place to succeed.
He still has four years left on his Villa contract, but he is pushing for a step up to a bigger challenge, reports The Hard Tackle.
United’s new boss Ruben Amorim is reportedly unconvinced by Andre Onana and has personally approved the move for Martinez this summer.
Talks between United and Villa are progressing well, with the Red Devils offering slightly more than the clause to ease negotiations.
Although Villa are reluctant to let him go, the release clause gives United the upper hand.
The deal is nearly complete, and Martinez appears ready to take the leap to Old Trafford.
