Manchester United goalkeepers choose one of two! Donnarumma and Martin, who will Amorin choose, and what to do onana

4:45pm, 4 August 2025【Football】

The new season of Premier League is about to start, Manchester United has only spent 120 million euros to introduce Cunha and Mbeumo in the summer window. It is obviously an impossible task to return the Red Devils, who ranked 15th in the Premier League last season, to the European arena. It is obviously an impossible task. Coach Amorin directly told Manchester United's senior management that the goalkeeper must sign a top goalkeeper. According to multiple media reports, Onana may lose the No. 1 goalkeeper position in the new season. The club plans to choose between Donnarumma and Martin. The target transfer fee of these two goalkeepers is about 40 million euros.

Last season, Manchester United changed coaches in the middle, Amorin took over Tenghager's coaching stick. The already chaotic "Dream Theater" also made the young coach helpless. The Red Devils' senior management also knew this well, so they continued to let Amorin stay on the coach's seal and continue to lead the team. Changing coaches every day was not a big deal. Inter Milan sent Onana to Old Trafford at a sky-high price of 50 million pounds, but the result was that the Cameroonian goalkeeper performed extremely unstable. The frequent butter hand has become his synonym. What can the occasional highlight save? Amorin has begun to lose confidence in him, and Onana has recently missed the US warm-up match due to a hamstring injury. It is doubtful whether the Premier League opening game can catch up, so it is urgent to sign a top goalkeeper.

Goal 1: Donaruma, 26, is one of the heroes of the Paris Saint-Germain's triple-champion champion. He has used his god to defend the goal in the Champions League knockout stages many times. In terms of goal line skills and reaction speed, he is one of the top goalkeepers in today's football. In addition, coach Enrique prefers goalkeepers with stronger ability to shoot under his feet. Although Donnarumma has outstanding strength, he is not the ideal type of coach. RMC Sports reported that Paris has basically finalized Lille's goalkeeper and is expected to become the starting goalkeeper in the new season, which means Donnarumma is likely to leave this summer. At present, Donnarumma has only one year left in the contract with Paris Saint-Germain, with an annual salary of 12.7 million euros. Paris hoped that he would cut his salary and renew his contract, but was rejected. Considering that the contract is about to expire, Paris is willing to release people within the range of 35-40 million euros, which is really great for Manchester United to come.

In terms of age and potential, Donnarumma is only 26 years old, which means that if the Red Devils successfully sign him, they can solve the goalkeeper problem for at least 5-7 years. His weekly salary is expected to be no less than £210,000, but this price is acceptable for Manchester United, which is in urgent need of a solid defense.

Goal Two: Big Martin

Another candidate is Damian Martinez of Aston Villa. The 32-year-old "Big Martin" came from Arsenal youth training, but became famous in Villa and the Argentina national team. He is known for his goal line skills, reaction speed and penalty kicking ability, and was once a winner in the World Cup final. As early as before the end of last season, after Villa finished his home game, Martin said goodbye to the fans with tears, which was generally interpreted by the outside world as he hoped to meet new challenges in his career. The Manchester Evening News reported that Manchester United has communicated with the Grand Martin team many times, and the players themselves hope to join the Red Devils and challenge the giants.

Villa's price is about £35 million (about €40 million), and Manchester United tried to loan but was directly rejected. Given the age and experience of Martin, he is a more stable, plug and play option. But in the long run, he is not the future gate god of the Red Devils. Judging from the performance of these two goalkeepers in recent seasons, their strength is indeed stronger than Onana. What is more important is stability. This is what a top giant needs. Choosing Donnarumma means investing in the future, while choosing Big Martin means stopping the bleeding immediately. For Amorin, the goalkeeper will directly affect the success or failure of his three-center-back system. If Onana continues to miss due to injury or is in a sluggish state, the new player is likely to take over the No. 1 goalkeeper position at the beginning of the season. Onanana "returns his soul", and for the Red Devils, the healthy competition between the two door gods is a huge cornerstone of the road to revival.
