Manchester United’s goalkeeping woes continue to plague the English giants, with André Onana and Altay Bayındır struggling to find consistency in every match under Rúben Amorim’s side. While veteran Tom Heaton remains in the squad, he is primarily reserved for emergency situations. In response, the Old Trafford club has been actively searching for a new goalkeeper.
Significant progress has been made in this regard. Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Manchester United have reached an agreement on personal terms with Argentina’s World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martinez.
Romano posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Manchester United have finalized personal terms with Martinez and have also contacted Aston Villa. If the Lammens deal doesn’t materialize, Dibu is now a concrete option. Discussions are already underway.”
Uncertainty remains over whether Aston Villa will release their star goalkeeper abruptly. However, the club has already begun exploring alternatives, reaching out to Belgian goalkeeper Sene Lammens, who is also a target for Manchester United. Porto’s Diogo Costa has also been mentioned in discussions.
After a challenging stint at Arsenal, Martinez’s career took a remarkable turn upon joining Aston Villa. The goalkeeper, who played a pivotal role in Argentina’s World Cup triumph, has been hailed as “world-class” by Sky Sports analyst Dan Bardell. His experience and match-winning mentality are what make him an attractive prospect for United.
With just one day left in the transfer window, if Manchester United manage to secure Martinez, the goalkeeping dynamics at Old Trafford could undergo a dramatic transformation.
