Manchester United attacked on two lines! Started transfer negotiations for top goalkeepers, and chased Serie A midfielder

It is reported that Manchester United has started negotiations on signing Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, while also promoting the transfer of Juventus midfielder Douglas Luis. Ruben Amorin hopes to strengthen the team's weak position through these two signings.

Manchester United urgently need to find a competitor or a replacement for Andre Onana, and Argentina's goal is Martinez. The 32-year-old goalkeeper has a significant advantage:

· Brilliant resume: twice won the Yassin Award and FIFA goalkeeper of the year, helped Argentina win the World Cup, and has rich experience in the Premier League (has played for Arsenal and Villa);

· Villa has an open attitude: Martinez is suspected to say goodbye to Villa fans at the end of last season, and Villa has signed Dutch goalkeeper Marco Bizot (34 years old, from Brest). If Martinez leaves the team, they plan to sign another goalkeeper to fill the vacancy.

For Manchester United, Onana's performance last season was ups and downs and he would miss the entire preseason due to a hamstring injury. Signing Martinez can not only improve the goalkeeper's position competitiveness, but also cope with potential injuries. Negotiations between the two sides have started, Villa's valuation of Martinez has not been made public, but considering his ability and age, the transfer fee may be between £40-50 million.

Manchester United also targeted Juventus midfielder Douglas Luis, hoping to introduce the Brazil international with a "loan + buyout option" to fill the vacancy of Christian Eriksen after leaving the team.

Luis's career is full of twists and turns:

· After joining Juventus from the Premier League (Aston Villa) last season, he failed to gain a foothold and had few opportunities to play;

· In order to participate in next year's World Cup, he is eager to restart his career through transfers, and the familiar environment of the Premier League may become the attraction.

In addition to Manchester United, Everton, Villa and Leeds United are also paying attention to him, but Manchester United's "Champions League qualification" (if it can be obtained) may become an advantage. If the transaction is reached, the rental fee is expected to be £5 million and the buyout clause is about £30 million.

Amorin's team building idea is clear:

· The goalkeeper's position must be upgraded: Onana's mistakes and injury hazards make Manchester United dare not take it lightly, Martinez's stability is the key;

· The midfield needs vitality: After Eriksen left the team, the team lacked a midfielder with both defensive hardness and passing ability. If Louis could regain his form during Villa (5 goals and 7 assists in a single season), it would be a cost-effective choice. If these two deals can be completed, Manchester United's lineup balance will be significantly improved - especially the arrival of Martinez, which may directly change the "unstable" label of goalkeeper's position.
