Manchester United has made it a priority to sign a new first-choice goalkeeper next summer. Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim confirmed last week that even after signing Belgian goalkeeper Lammens for £18.2 million in this summer's transfer window, the club still does not have a fully rounded goalkeeper.
This season, Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayındır has started all of Manchester United's Premier League matches so far, but his performances have been inconsistent, and he made mistakes in the games against Arsenal and Burnley.
In addition, Cameroonian goalkeeper André Onana has been loaned by Manchester United to Turkish club Trabzonspor for a season. However, in any case, it is unlikely that he will ever return to Manchester United to reclaim the club's No.1 goalkeeper spot.
Notably, French goalkeeper Mike Maignan of AC Milan has a contract with the club that expires next year. Manchester United has recently held talks with his representatives, and United's forward Yoane Wissa is also one of his client players.
Manchester United also tried to loan Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez this summer, but the transfer ultimately fell through. The Argentine international has a contract with Villa running until 2029.
Manchester United also plans to invest heavily in at least one midfielder. Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba has been identified as a potential transfer target. Due to being unable to sell Casemiro this summer, Manchester United could not secure funds to sign another new midfielder in this summer's transfer window. However, the 33-year-old Brazilian international is expected to leave on a free transfer next summer.
