Manchester United have renewed their interest in Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, and are seriously considering a move for the 32 year-old shot stopper before Monday’s transfer deadline.
The Red Devils have been looking to address their goalkeeping problems and have been in talks with Royal Antwerp about their highly rated 23-year-old Belgian Senne Lammens.
Lammens is keen to join United and has been left out of Antwerp’s past two games. It is known the Belgian Pro League club need to make a sizeable sale so they can meet an external loan they have previously taken out.
However, he lacks high-level experience, while Martinez is a World Cup winner with Argentina and a two-time Fifa goalkeeper of the year with 197 Premier League appearances under his belt.
After Saturday’s 3-2 victory over Burnley, United head coach Ruben Amorim admitted: “I think it is hard to be a Manchester United goalkeeper in this moment.”
