Gary Neville has called on Manchester United to act quickly in the transfer market and sign a new goalkeeper, warning that the lack of a commanding No.1 is "undermining" Ruben Amorim’s early attempts to rebuild the team. With Andre Onana sidelined and Altay Bayindir producing another costly error in the defeat to Arsenal, Neville insists United need a strong personality in goal to steady the squad.
Manchester United’s decision to splash £18.2m on Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens on deadline day has been met with criticism, with former Red Devils keeper Ben Foster branding the move a 'panic buy'. United had been heavily linked with Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez but ultimately settled for the Belgian shot-stopper, sparking debate among fans and pundits alike.
Unai Emery hailed Aston Villa star Emi Martinez for his sensational performance against Everton following a failed move to Manchester United. However, in a shock turn, United ditched Martinez at the last minute and instead signed Belgian youngster Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp. That switch paved the way for Andre Onana’s loan departure to Trabzonspor, but left Martinez high and dry in Birmingham.
Peter Schmeichel has shared his disappointment at Manchester United's recent acquisition of Senne Lammens. The legendary shot stopper has said he believes the Red Devils should have gone after Aston Villa's Emi Martinez or recent Manchester City signing Gianluigi Donnarumma, rather than the inexperienced Belgian. Schmeichel went as far as to say he had "never heard" of Lammens before the deal.
Manchester United could revisit their interest in Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in January, despite signing Senne Lammens earlier this year. With Ruben Amorim under pressure after a poor start to the campaign, the club are expected to explore reinforcements — and former Red Devils scout Mick Brown believes Martinez remains firmly on their radar.
