Man Utd Hunting for Stopper: Martinez Back in Focus as Lammens Deal wavers

New Target: Emiliano Martinez

Manchester United’s search for a new goalkeeper heats up as Man Utd turns their attention back to Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that United has made a new approach for the Argentine keeper.

‘EXCL: Manchester United make new approach with Aston Villa for Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez. Talks remain ongoing for Senne Lammens while Man United want to be ready if deal collapses with less than 48h to go… …and new approach for Dibu took place with Villa + his camp.’ – Fabrizio Romano

Lammens Deal Yet to Close

Man Utd have been in talks to sign Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens for weeks, but the deal remains elusive with the transfer deadline looming. United’s interest in Martinez suggests they’re not assured of landing Lammens.

Goalkeeper Woes Continue

• Altay Bayindir has started all Premier League matches, struggling to convince.
• Andre Onana’s confidence is reportedly shot after mistakes and competition for his spot.
• Man Utd lost to Grimsby Town in the League Cup with Onana between the sticks.

Manager Under Pressure: Ruben Amorim

Manager Ruben Amorim is facing pressure after a 15th-place finish last season. United’s summer signings — Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, and Matheus Cunha — are expected to boost United’s attack, but focus has shifted to the goalkeeping position with the team’s patchy start.

Neville’s Take

“The main priority for United is still goals and we think Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko are going to do that. We think Onana will start today but that situation isn’t right… They have to deal with that.” – Gary Neville, NBC Sports
