Manchester United in Talks Over Signing a New Goalkeeper With Emi Martinez Re-emerging as an Option Alongside Senne Lammens.
Sports Updated: 31 August 2025 16:16 EAT
Manchester United are weighing their options in the goalkeeper market as the transfer window edges towards its conclusion, with Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martínez and Belgian prospect Senne Lammens both under consideration. The club is exploring avenues to strengthen the position but remains divided internally on which target to pursue.
Talks have also included the prospect of Jadon Sancho moving in the opposite direction as part of negotiations, a scenario that could ease the financial structure of any potential deal. Sancho’s uncertain future at Old Trafford has made him a subject of interest for several clubs, and United may look to use that situation to their advantage.
Despite the discussions, United have not fully committed to pressing ahead with a move for either goalkeeper, with some figures within the club cautious about whether another addition in that department is essential. Much will depend on late developments and the financial balance required to complete any agreement.
With the transfer deadline fast approaching on Monday, time is running out for the club to finalise their decision. The next 48 hours will be decisive in determining whether United secure a new goalkeeper or opt to stick with their current options heading into the season.
