Former Manchester City goalkeeper: Joining Manchester United was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but Martin missed it

Hupu November 11 News Recently, goalkeeper Shay Given, who has played for Newcastle United, Manchester City and Aston Villa, expressed his views on the failure of Argentine goalkeeper Martin to transfer to Manchester United in an interview with 10bet.

Shay Given said: "In the transfer window that just passed, Martin was very close to being transferred. During that time, he didn't even play a game. I remember that on the day of the transfer deadline, Villa had a live game and he was not included in the squad. Everyone thought he was leaving, possibly to Manchester United, but in the end he failed to make the trip."

" After that, Martin returned to Villa and became the team's No. 1 goalkeeper again. Now he has regained the chance to play and is still the core player of the team. I don't know if Martin will have a chance to transfer next summer, especially for Manchester United - now that Ramones has joined and performed very well, it may not be possible for Martin. Maybe it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but now it has been missed."

"Unless Martin intends to play in other national leagues, he has had an extremely brilliant experience both in the club and the national team, hasn't he? He won the World Cup, which was incredible with his key save at the end of the World Cup final. Counterattack scoring, this is simply a dream scenario, isn't it? "

"In Argentina, Martin is definitely a hero, and his personal character is also very distinct. Maybe starting from next year, considering his age, teams will be more inclined to choose younger goalkeepers, but in my opinion, Martin is still a top goalkeeper."
