Getty ImagesWHAT SCALONI SAID
Speaking to the media, Scaloni opened up on Martinez's feelings: "I saw Emiliano doing well... in the end, his transfer didn't happen, but yesterday [September 2] was his birthday and I saw him happy, he looked good. Obviously, he must have been excited about playing for Manchester United, as they said, but he's a positive kid who's already thinking about us and returning to his club, which is what he needs to think about. But I saw him doing well."
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has suggested that Marco Bizot will now be the team's No.1 goalkeeper, but Scaloni is not yet worried about Martinez's future. "We'll wait and see what happens, because he's losing continuity," he said. "Why should I worry now? Why should I get ahead of myself? It's true that we're interested in them playing. I understand that if he stays, everything will continue as normal, but it's not my decision. We'll see what happens..."
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR MARTINEZ?
Martinez is set to start for Argentina in their next World Cup qualifying game against Venezuela on Thursday and against Ecuador five days later. Aston Villa are due back in action after the international break when they face Everton on September 13.
