Not long ago, Damian Martinez's older brother Alejandro was interviewed by DSports Radio and talked about his brother's failure to transfer to Manchester United.
He said: "I was told that Martinez gave a lot on both professional and personal levels, and people loved him very much, which can be seen on the court.
"He was very popular in the team, and the club's senior management was reluctant to sell him because he was a key player on the team, and another big club wanted him, which involved a conflict of commercial interests. This is the decision of the club management, and although the deal is not completed, it is like other things in business. It has nothing to do with sports, everything is fine. ”
"Martinez never had a dispute with Emery, all of which was controlled by management, and the two clubs failed to reach an agreement. In Aston Villa, he is like Maradona of Naples. He has paid a lot for Villa, just like Aguero to Manchester City, Messi to Barcelona, they are all legendary players, and it will be very difficult to surpass what he did at Aston Villa. ”
