Manchester United are preparing a BID for Emiliano Dibu Martinez, reports DSports. ??
So says Fabrizio.
I doubt it's likely, but would be a huge upgrade. Can't imagine he will come cheap, unless there is some sort of swap with Rashford.

Heard they’re targeting younger keepers with potential.
18 May 2025 20:53:02
I’d imagine it’s the club or agent using United to drum up interest. I think he’s leaving, but won’t be going to United.
Villa need to sell for PSR. Probably another big sale to Saudi.

We could do a lot worse that’s for sure, hell we already have a lot worse that’s for sure, be a real good signing for us.

Good keeper and strong personality. Doubt it's a runner but I'd swap him for rashford in a heartbeat. Solving 2 problems in 1 go.
Biggest issue is getting rid of onana without incurring a heavy loss. Saudi is the cash cow we can't exploit they don't even want our crap players.

Everyone keeps pinning there hopes on Saudi…taking our crap
Firstly they got to even want a player
Secondly the player got to want it
Thirdly they are not stupid and going to throw millions at crap… but then again they might like Onana to tap into another continent, please please please let that be true!
He is our 2nd biggest problem imo, after the lack of strikers.
I would go for 2 very decent strikers a decent GK and Decent CB decent midfielder in that order, if we could get that 4 in this window I be over the moon.

I don't see Onana leaving this summer. A combination of us needing a decent fee (25-30m) to breakeven on the books and his iffy form means I cannot see anyone paying what we need to shift him.
That said I do think we still need to sign a keeper, we need someone to put pressure on and maybe even take Onana's place from him. Bayindir has been as bad or worse than Onana when he's stepped in.
It's devastating to see our current crop of keepers and then remember a few years ago we had the likes of DDG, Romero and Henderson all vying for the No.1 jersey.
I suspect we will sign a keeper this summer, but I don't think it'll be an expensive clear first choice type signing. It'll be a cheaper keeper who has potential to dislodge Onana while at least being a solid back up.

Onana is awful but I think we are stuck with him for an another year due to PSR.
I like Emi Martinez as a leader and good character but not sure how good a keeper he is.
Personally I like the idea of Milinkovic Savic. Could compete with Onana. Huge presence and could step back to be number 2 if an elite goalkeeper becomes available. Joan Garcia looks solid too. Not sure on Lammens.

Martinez is not old in goalkeeper terms. Played at the highest level. Proven quality. Would demand a lot of our defenders and is not himself going to make anywhere near as many stupid mistakes as Onana. Even if he is with Utd for two years he should prove to be a steady influence and the challenge from him might even make Onana a up his game.
19 May 2025 21:20:47
I'd like to see an experienced keeper like Martinez for a couple of years, especially with the inexperienced defenders we have; Heaven and Yoro.
Apparently there are some young keepers at Utd with real potential, who could maybe step up as the no 2? Or have I got that wrong?
20 May 2025 00:05:52
Probably the best GK in the league for me, despite a few questionable antics in recent years. :D But I don't see how we get a GK of his level without shifting Onana unless we're happy to cut our losses. A great GK wins you points, but this guy throws them away for fun.
20 May 2025 10:32:57
Onana goes this summer.
I am shocked Shappy you done a total 180 on Onana, was he not supposed to be so good and his kicking would put anyone to shame and DeGea was a liability and Onana would be the missing link…we so badly needed!
21 May 2025 00:04:53
Garcia or Lammens for me to immediately challenge Onana for the number one spot.
Onana is awful, Bayendir is worse. Assuming only one is leaving.
