Manchester United are in talks over signing a new goalkeeper with Emi Martinez re-emerging as an option alongside Senne Lammens.
The possibility of Jadon Sancho going the opposite direction has been floated during talks.
There is internal debate at Old Trafford around the target to press ahead with, while there is no guarantee a signing in that position is made given time is running out ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline.
Focus on addressing the goalkeeper situation has increased in light of another uncertain performance by Altay Bayindir against Burnley, off the back of Andre Onana making two errors at Grimsby.
United have been in negotiations with Royal Antwerp on Lammens for the past week or so, but have yet to agree a fee as the Belgian side look to achieve around €25million. The Old Trafford club are aware Antwerp are under financial pressure to sell.
Martinez wants to leave Aston Villa and his representatives have been in talks with United since January. He is doubtful to play against Crystal Palace tonight and Villa are already seeking alternatives in the event of his departure, including Diogo Costa at Porto. Costa has also been on United’s list of potential targets.
United made a loan bid for Martinez in July that was rejected. He is on significant wages at Villa Park.
United are unlikely to do both Martinez and Lammens, with that possibility only arising if either Onana or Bayindir leaves. Onana expects to stay beyond the deadline.
