Manchester United's goalkeeping issues have led to speculation about potential signings, including Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez. The Red Devils' struggles between the posts were evident in their recent matches, particularly in the League Cup loss to Grimsby Town, where Onana's mistakes proved costly.

Further concerns arose in the Premier League win over Burnley, when Bayindir's error nearly jeopardized the victory. These back-to-back goalkeeping mishaps have intensified speculation about potential transfers, with Martinez being one of the names linked to a potential move to Old Trafford.
