The Red Devils have been in the market for a new No.1 throughout the summer, with Andre Onana failing to convince across his two seasons as first-choice at Old Trafford. Back-up keeper Altay Bayindir has also made mistakes when called upon.
كأس العالم winner Martinez was a top target for متحد at one stage, with the الأرجنتين international seemingly open to trading one الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز outfit for another. He is, however, still on the books at أستون فيلا.
It was claimed that a loan move for Jadon Sancho, taking him to Villa Park, would clear the way for Martinez to head north from the West Midlands. الرياضي are reporting that United have instead struck a deal with Royal Antwerp for Lammens.
That agreement is said to be worth £18m plus add-ons, with the 23-year-old heading to إنجلترا for a medical after agreeing terms on a five-year contract. Lammens has made بلجيكا squads in the past, but is still waiting on his senior international debut.
It remains to be seen what the future now holds for Onana, who made more unfortunate headlines in the wake of United’s كأس كاراباو humbling at Grimsby. Martinez also has some big decisions to make after missing out on a move that he considered to be highly likely.
