Manchester United plan to make it difficult for De Gea

David De Gea is being one of the positive news of the season at Manchester United. There are already numerous campaigns that the Spanish goalkeeper accumulates at a high level at Old Trafford, but in this course, in which the start has not been as expected taking into account the expectations of the club, De Gea has returned to measure up . If Cristiano Ronaldo is in charge of rescuing points for the Red Devils based on goals, the Spanish international is doing the same avoiding them. In addition, the former Atlético de Madrid goalkeeper has not only managed to occupy the headlines based on saves, but has regained the title in the Premier League, lost at the end of last season to the benefit of Dean Henderson. However, Manchester United is not willing to make it so “easy” for De Gea, as he is considering bringing competition in goal.

As reported exclusively by the British newspaper Daily Star, The Mancunians would have the name of Emiliano Martínez, current Aston Villa goalkeeper, on their list of objectives. Since the Argentine goalkeeper signed for the Villans after a great last season wearing the Arsenal shirt, the ‘Draw’ has become one of the proper names in the Premier League. As reported by this medium, “United, who have followed him closely on several occasions, now see him as a very suitable candidate to be number one at Old Trafford”. The Argentine would be the main candidate, but not the only one. The Red Devils they would also be interested in Illan Meslier. Although his performance has dropped this season, the 21-year-old French goalkeeper, currently at Leeds United, is one of the most promising goalkeeper projects in Europe. While the reigning Copa América champion with Argentina has a contract with Aston Villa until 2024, the French still have 5 years of ties with the Whites left.

If Manchester United is considering making an offer of 50M pounds for Emiliano Martínez, it is due to the need to find a competitor for David De Gea that forces the Spanish to maintain the level shown during these months of competition. The Spaniard has started all 16 Premier League games played to date, as well as 5 of the 6 Champions League games. The Spaniard has won the game over Dean Henderson –1 start in European competition and another in Carabao Cup– and the English goalkeeper, who has already missed Euro 2020 due to injury, I would be desperately looking for a way out to go to the Qatar World Cup 2022 with England. The great level of De Gea has deprived the youth squad of the Red Devils of all the opportunities obtained during the past course (he ended up playing as a starter 12 of 13 Premier League games), and that is why Manchester United has been forced to look for a replacement for him as a “rival” for David De Gea. The former goalkeeper of the colchonero team still has a contract until 2023 with the Mancunians.
