Manchester United are reportedly working on signing two goalkeepers this summer in the form of Emiliano Martinez and Senne Lammens.
The Red Devils are clearly pursuing a new signing in goal for Deadline Day, according to Fabrizio Romano, but only one of these targets will end up joining.
For now, it seems to be an open situation, with Man Utd trying to keep both deals alive, with Martinez perhaps the trickier deal to get done due to him being a key player for a Premier League rival.
Still, Romano has also suggested that the Martinez deal could happen if Jadon Sancho ends up making the move to Villa Park.
See below for details from Romano’s post on X…

Who will be Manchester United’s new goalkeeper?
United clearly need an upgrade on Andre Onana, who could leave for Galatasaray today, and one imagines fans would be happy with either one of Martinez or Lammens.
Martinez is more proven and experienced after his strong displays for Villa and for the Argentina national team.
However, he’s about to turn 33, so wouldn’t be the most long-term option.
Lammens is younger and a promising ‘keeper who could be the smarter long-term investment.
At the same time, though, it’s always hard to know for sure how well even the biggest prospects will adapt to playing for a top club in the Premier League.
Either way, it would be hard for these ‘keepers to do worse than Onana, who has majorly flopped at Old Trafford, and whose departure seems the best outcome for everyone involved.
