Manchester United are looking to improve their goalkeeping department with a quality addition like Emiliano Martinez during the January transfer window.

According to a report by Football Insider, Manchester United want to bring in an experienced goalkeeper in January, and Aston Villa star Emiliano Martinez is an option for them. The South American was linked with a move to Manchester United during the summer transfer window as well.

However, the move did not materialise. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United decide to revive their move for the World Cup winner in January. There is no doubt that he is a quality player. Emiliano Martinez is certainly one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, and he could help them improve.

Manchester United signed Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp during the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old goalkeeper has not been a regular starter for them so far, but he impressed this past weekend against Sunderland. There is no doubt that he has the quality to develop into a star player for Manchester United.

However, Manchester United need more depth in that area of the pitch. André Onana has been sent out on loan to Trabzonspor and Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayındır has been quite disappointing. Having Lammens, and Emiliano Martínez at their disposal would be ideal for Manchester United. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.

Martinez will fancy a move

Emiliano Martinez will be attracted to the idea of moving to Manchester United. It would be a huge opportunity for him at this stage of his career. He will want to join a big club and fight for major trophies. Manchester United might be able to provide him with that opportunity in the near future.

Aston Villa are going through a difficult phase, and they are unlikely to be able to challenge for major trophies any time soon. It could be ideal for the goalkeeper to move on right now. The Argentine international is at the peak of his career, and he will not want to waste his best years. The former Arsenal goalkeeper has won major trophies with his country, and he will look to do the same at the club level now.
