Unai Emery on Dibu Martínez: is he set to return in goal? | OneFootball

During the last transfer window, one of the biggest sagas had Emiliano Martínez as its protagonist. Dibu, who ended last season bidding farewell to Aston Villa fans in tears, was close to leaving several times but, after the latest strong rumors linking him to Manchester United, it was decided that he will stay in Birmingham and Unai Emery, the team's coach, spoke about his situation.

On the last matchday before traveling with the Argentina National Team, the Spanish manager took him out of the starting lineup and, when asked about it, he simply replied, "Bizot, Marco Bizot," refusing to talk about the Argentine. Now, he has showered him with praise and Martínez is expected to return to the starting eleven.

"Him staying is good news. I am very happy about it, because he is the best goalkeeper in the world. His commitment to Villa is enormous," he said at a press conference. "He always trains giving his all, respecting Aston Villa. Emi is very happy and knows that his challenges are now with Aston Villa and the Argentina National Team," he added.
