Andre Onana has made several crucial mistakes since he joined United, which has forced the club hierarchy to dip into the market once again in search of a new No.1. Moreover, the Cameroonian picked up an injury in July, which further led Amorim to knock on Villa’s door with the hope of securing Martinez. However, the former shotstopper has been working his way back to fitness, and his presence will be a welcome boost as preparations for the new campaign ramp up.u0026nbsp; u0026nbsp; u0026nbsp;

When asked if a new keeper will be added to the roster in the summer, Amorim said: “We are always looking to improve the team. And we have some characteristics that we would like to have. But again, it depends on the market. It depends on the sales. We’ll see. But I’m really happy. And I think even when you talk about Andre, you can see the goalkeepers. Even Tom (Heaton) is learner, he’s a different goalkeeper. Altay (Bayindir) did really well, and Onana is going to be better like the other guys that are getting better this year.” u0026nbsp;

Apart from scouring the market for a keeper, they are also keen to sign a striker. And one key name currently linked with a move to Old Trafford is forward Benjamin Sesko. The officials are reportedly deep in negotiations and believe they are in a strong position to agree terms for the highly rated striker. The club hope to finalise this signing before offloading members of their so-called “bomb squad”, which includes Jadon Sancho, , and Tyrell Malacia.u0026nbsp; u0026nbsp;

The pressure is on the club’s hierarchy to deliver the players Amorim is seeking before the September 1 deadline. Whether or not they manage to land targets like Sesko or bolster the goalkeeping department further, the next few weeks will be crucial in determining how competitive United will be in the months ahead. u0026nbsp;
