Facing yet another chapter in Manchester United's never-ending results crisis, Rúben Amorim may well receive a positive sign from the management in the form of a goalkeeper signing. Thus, the former Benfica player could very well get a reinforcement to help ease the problems in the Red Devils’ goal.
Although the Manchester United coach – who has had difficult moments at the club – publicly defends his goalkeepers, Altay Bayindir and André Onana, the truth is that both players have accumulated successive errors, leading the English club to actually move forward with a reinforcement between the posts.
According to the British press, as reported by the newspaper A Bola, the Red Devils are in advanced negotiations with Antwerp for the signing of Senne Lammens. However, the same source assures that the Belgian is not the only option being considered, stating that Emi Martínez, Aston Villa’s goalkeeper, is back on the radar.
Although the price asked by the Belgians is affordable – around 25 million euros – there is some concern at Old Trafford regarding Lammens. The English directors believe that the youngster may have difficulties adapting to the club due to his lack of experience and that he may not be able to withstand the pressure that will be placed on him.
For these reasons, Manchester United is also considering bringing in the Argentine, who already has extensive top-level experience in the Premier League. To date, the World Cup winner with Argentina has already played 197 matches in England’s top flight. After an initial approach, which was rejected at the start of the transfer window, United will present a 40 million euro offer to Aston Villa.
