Manchester United are entering a pivotal summer as they look to rebuild after one of their worst campaigns in three decades.
The pressure on manager Ruben Amorim to make the right moves is immense, especially in key positions where weaknesses were exposed last season.
The goalkeeping department has been a major talking point among fans and pundits following several costly errors that undermined United’s defensive stability.

The club is determined to bring in a proven goalkeeper to restore confidence and consistency between the posts before the transfer window closes on August 31.
Interest in Emiliano Martinez, often called ‘Dibu,’ has been simmering for some time at Old Trafford.
The technical staff had targeted the Argentine shot-stopper two years ago but were blocked by then-manager Erik Ten Hag, as La Nacion has reported.
Instead, Erik ten Hag backed the acquisition of Andre Onana from Inter Milan for a substantial fee of €50 million.
However, Onana’s form last season failed to meet expectations and his mistakes have increasingly come under scrutiny from supporters, raising doubts about his long-term role at the club.
With the current transfer window still open, Manchester United have now stepped up formal negotiations to bring Martinez to Old Trafford.

The move is closely linked to efforts to offload Onana, whose future remains uncertain.
At 32 years old, Martinez views the transfer as a crucial chance to revive his career after a challenging spell at Arsenal, where he struggled to secure a regular place despite his undeniable talent.
The goalkeeper is motivated to prove himself and believes Manchester United provides the ideal stage for a comeback.
As talks gain momentum, United are hopeful the deal will be completed soon to strengthen their defensive options ahead of the new season.
The signing of Martinez would be a clear signal of the club’s intent to address key weaknesses and support Ruben Amorim’s rebuilding project.
Time is running out in the summer window and all eyes are on Old Trafford to see if this long-awaited goalkeeper transfer will come to fruition.
