The Red Devils opted to sign Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp this summer instead of Martinez, who has already waved goodbye to supporters despite no club making a bid for him while the transfer window was open.
Emi is doing fine
Villa boos Unai Emery even went as far as to exclude him from Villa's squad for their loss against Crystal Palace on Sunday, just merely 24 hours before the deadline. Martinez was keen on a switch to Old Trafford after five seasons at the club, but United never made a move for the Argentine.
Ahead of their match against Venezuela, Scaloni was asked about Martínez's state of mind after the failed move, which will have affected him mentally heading into the rest of the season.
“Emi is fine. In the end, his transfer didn’t happen, but yesterday was his birthday and I saw him happy.
“Of course, he must have been excited about the idea of playing for Manchester United, as people have said, but he’s a positive kid.
“He’s already focused on us, and when he returns to his club, he’ll be focused on them. I saw him well.”
Martínez will keep his spot
When asked if he was concerned Martínez could lose his starting spot at Villa as Emery considers Marco Bizot for a spot between the sticks, Scaloni admits that he will keep his place as long as he plays consistently.
“I’m interested in him playing, but we’re not going to get ahead of ourselves.
"I understand that, if he stays, everything will continue as normal. We’ll see what happens. It’s not my decision."
