According to Fichajes, Ruben Amorim has requested that Manchester United sign a new goalkeeper in the January 2026 winter transfer window, and Emiliano Martinez is his number one priority.

Emiliano Martinez was pursued by Manchester United last summer, and the Argentine national team's number one goalkeeper also liked the idea of ​​moving to Old Trafford, but the deal fell through.

The reason is that MU inquired about loaning Emiliano Martinez, while Aston Villa had no intention of selling him, and if the goalkeeper insisted on leaving, they would need a reasonable price – around £30 million or more.

MU then brought in 23-year-old newcomer Senne Lammens, who was relatively unknown and had only played one season in the Belgian Pro League.

Last weekend, Ruben Amorim made his debut for Lammens in goal and he had a good start in MU's 2-0 win against Sunderland. However, the goalkeeper is still considered a " promising option " and not yet ready to be MU's number one. Altay Bayındır is inconsistent, while Onana has been loaned out, so the Red Devils need another short-term option.

Experience, keen insight, in-depth knowledge of the Premier League , and the ability to inspire – Emiliano Martinez possesses all of these qualities, and Amorim needs someone like him to help him and Manchester United gradually rise through this challenging campaign.

The source claims that MU wants to finalize the signing of Emiliano Martinez next January.

Besides their number one target, Emiliano Martinez, according to the Spanish newspaper Sport, MU have also contacted Ter Stegen's agent about the possibility of signing him in the winter transfer window.

Ter Stegen is currently recovering from a back injury after surgery and is expected to return to action in November or December.

The 33-year-old goalkeeper understands that it's difficult to earn a place back in the Barca starting lineup, with the 2026 World Cup fast approaching, so he may consider leaving.

Besides MU, two other Premier League clubs mentioned as being interested in signing Ter Stegen are Newcastle and Tottenham.

But with the current injury, no one knows for sure whether Ter Stegen will be able to compete in the Premier League immediately upon his return.
