Manchester United smashed Martinez by 40 million, and Lamons is just a backup plan?

The Premier League has just played in three rounds, and Manchester United is already panicked.

The defense line is in turmoil, and the goalkeeper's position has become the focus of controversy. According to August 31, at the point where the transfer market is closed in less than 48 hours, the Red Devils' senior executives made a key decision - to pursue Argentine goalkeeper Martinez.

According to well-known transfer reporter Romano, Manchester United has contacted Villa and submitted a offer of nearly 40 million pounds. Once this operation is completed, it is very likely to become the most topical reinforcement in the Premier League this summer.

Manchester's goalkeeper's trust crisis breaks out in full swing

If Manchester United's question is concentrated in which position after the three rounds of the league, the answer is obvious - goalkeeper. As a key signing last season, Onana should have been a reassurance for the team's defense, but judging from his performance at the beginning of the season, he brought more uneasiness to the team.

Hesitation in saves, mistakes in the ball, and unstable position at critical moments have been infinitely amplified in the past few games. Baindir was originally expected to compete for the main force, but coach Amorin obviously did not trust him enough.

One cannot stand it, and the other dare not use it. This is the current situation of Manchester United goalkeeper.

In the fierce Premier League schedule, this situation is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall.

Martinez, why can we impress Manchester United? From the perspective of ability, Martinez has almost everything Manchester United needs at the moment.

This Argentine goalkeeper has proved himself in the World Cup. His reaction speed, ability to pounce, and aura of commanding the defense are all top in the Premier League.

More importantly, he has a unique "tough guy temperament".

Whether it is in Aston Villa or in the national team, Martinez dares to stand up when the pressure is at its highest. Manchester United urgently needs such an existence to stabilize the locker room.

In contrast, although Onana's feet has more delicate skills, she always lacks the domineering attitude that a top goalkeeper should have. In the Premier League, footwork alone cannot solve all problems.

Short choice or long-term plan

Interestingly, the British media generally emphasized that Amorine's desire to sign Martinez is more of a "short-term emergency" consideration rather than a long-term plan.

In other words, Martinez may be regarded as a "fire-fighter" rather than a patron saint for the next decade.

The reason is very simple. He is already 32 years old and is not young. Manchester United executives are worried that after spending a lot of money to introduce, they will soon find new candidates.

For this reason, the Red Devils are still in talks with Belgian young player Lamons. The age of 23 represents potential and future. Even if you cannot immediately serve as the main force, you can also be used as a rotation and training target.

This reflects the two sides of Manchester United's transfer strategy: it requires both current stability and plans for the future.

The Anxiety of Manchester United's senior executives

Looking at Manchester United's performance in recent seasons, we can understand why they are so entangled in the goalkeeper position.

Whether it is De Gea's sad departure or Onana's highly questioned, the Red Devils' goalkeeper choice is almost always accompanied by controversy.

Goalkeeper is the soul of the team's defense line. Once the trust chain breaks, the entire defense line will lose balance.

This is also why even if Manchester United has to pay a high price of 40 million pounds, they still grit their teeth and fight for Martinez.

At the same time, maintaining contact with Lamens is worried that if an accident occurs before the summer window is closed, the team will be completely passive. There are only two days left in the transfer window. Can it be done? The key to everything lies in Villa's attitude.

Martinez is Villa's absolute core. Whether the transfer is not only related to the individual players, but also involves the overall deployment of the club's new season.

Vera is not willing to let people go easily, especially when the window is about to close, it is difficult for them to find a suitable replacement.

So even if Manchester United offers a £40 million offer, it may not be able to quickly impress the other party.

For Manchester United, this is a race against time. If an agreement cannot be reached as soon as possible, the goalkeeper crisis in the new season may continue.

Manchester United's season prospects

After three rounds of matches, Manchester United only achieved 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. This start is obviously difficult to satisfy the fans.

The team also has hidden dangers in the midfield position, and the instability of the defensive system has exposed the goalkeeper to more tests.

If the goalkeeper link cannot be resolved, Manchester United's trend throughout the season may deviate from expectations.

A deterrent goalkeeper can not only win points for the team, but also enhance the confidence of teammates on a spiritual level.

Conclusion

Manchester United's pursuit of Martinez is a helpless move and a key move.

In the short term, his arrival can immediately increase the team's goalkeeper position and even help the Red Devils overcome the crisis. As for how to arrange the future, I can only wait for the time to give the answer. The most concerned issue for fans is actually very simple: Can Manchester United really solve the goalkeeper problem before the end of this summer window?

The answer is about to be revealed.
