Despite Andre Onana’s presence, the club aims to strengthen its goalkeeping position. On average, Premier League goalkeepers concede 1.38 goals per 90 minutes of play, highlighting the critical need for defensive reinforcement (FBref, June 2024).

Transfer Challenges and Strategies

Martinez, considered one of the best goalkeepers, earns £150,000 weekly at Villa Park. The team’s failure to qualify for the Champions League could influence his departure. However, Manchester United can’t proceed until they offload Andre Onana.

Manchester United is taking nothing for granted, having previously missed out on other potential deals. Securing Martinez is crucial as they aim to strengthen their squad.
