Ruben Amorim has not yet been persuaded. Senne Lammens at Manchester United is prepared to take the lead. On the day of the September deadline, Lammens moved from Royal Antwerp to United. But the Belgian goalie didn’t make his Manchester debut until last weekend.
Amorim ultimately benched the unsteady Altay Bayındır in favour of his new acquisition against Sunderland on Saturday. Lammens appeared to seize the chance, putting on a spectacular performance as the Red Devils won 2-0 and recorded their first clean sheet of the year. But according to a Spanish newspaper, Amorim plans to bring in a new custodian in January.
Emiliano Martinez has emerged as United’s top priority in their quest to bolster their goalkeeping department by adding a top goalkeeper to their ranks, according to Fichajes. It is said that Amorim is requesting a new custodian, which will compel United to rekindle their interest in the Aston Villa star.
Man United keen on agreeing January deal
At Amorim’s request, Man United is now seeking to complete their agreement to sign Emiliano Martinez during the January transfer window, according to Spanish reports. In the summer, the Aston Villa goalie came very close to joining Manchester United, but Lammens was selected instead.
They supposedly want both now, and as a result, the Argentine may finally get his move. For Amorim’s team, switching from Bayindir and Onana to Lammens and Martinez would be the biggest improvement. The Portuguese manager would have to make a difficult choice for all the right reasons after having trouble finding a trustworthy number one.
Villa manager Unai Emery will be frustrated to have to deal with another transfer drama after praising Martinez so highly after he stayed put if United does make a move for him.
In football, players leave and stay, and occasionally someone is on the verge of joining or leaving, the Spaniard told reporters.
In my opinion, that is typical; I fully comprehend it. The good news is that Martínez will be remaining with us. I’m incredibly joyful. He’s the greatest goalie in the world, in my opinion. Our custodian is the world’s best. He is so dedicated.
