It can’t be much fun to go to work as a Manchester United goalkeeper when “the whole world” is waiting for the next mistake, while your own supporters hold their breath when the ball approaches their own goal. For Bayindir and Onana, this is everyday life. For Manchester United, an unbearable one that needs to be resolved before the transfer window slams shut in not too many hours. Now it is reported that United have returned to Aston Villa.
Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lemmens has been well on her way to Manchester United in recent weeks, but the Belgian club are refusing to sell the 23-year-old for less than £21.6 million, something United are holding back on. It is heading towards the “next Courtois”, but according to transfer journalist Romano, United are back for another push to sign Emi Martinez.
