<p>Manchester United's goalkeeping challenges were thrust back into focus during their Premier League opening day defeat against Arsenal on Sunday. André Onana generated considerable discussion ahead of the match after Ruben Amorim excluded the Cameroon international from his squad. Onana hadn't participated in pre-season for United and had only recently returned to full training, leading to Altay Bayındır starting at Old Trafford. The Turkish goalkeeper has struggled to make an impact since his arrival at United, making a critical mistake that contributed to Arsenal's winning goal.</p><br>
<p>While Amorim, Bruno Fernandes, and several analysts believed that Bayındır was unfairly obstructed by William Saliba, he should have exerted more authority in the situation, allowing Riccardo Calafiori to score from a poorly executed clearance. Amorim stood by Bayındır after the game, emphasizing that Onana's exclusion was not a punishment. However, United desperately needs a reliable first-choice goalkeeper, a sentiment echoed by Gary Neville, who stated, "It's a glaring issue that Manchester United cannot ignore; they must find a goalkeeper." In light of this, we have identified four potential goalkeeper options that could resolve Manchester United's issues.</p><br>
<h2>Four Potential Goalkeeper Options for Manchester United</h2><br>
<p>Gianluigi Donnarumma is available this summer following PSG's decision to sign Lucas Chevalier, leaving the 26-year-old surplus to requirements. Donnarumma played a crucial role in helping PSG secure their first-ever Champions League title and has recently expressed dissatisfaction with the club. He is currently valued at €40m, making him one of the most valuable goalkeepers in the world. Acquiring him would require a significant financial investment, along with a substantial salary. While there may be some recent backlash surrounding his performances at PSG, he remains an elite talent. Whether Manchester United can afford him and convince him of their project is uncertain, especially with Manchester City also considering a move.</p><br>
<p>Emiliano Martínez missed Aston Villa’s Premier League opener against Newcastle United on Saturday due to a one-game suspension from the previous season, not because of speculation regarding his future. The Argentine keeper hinted at a farewell during his last appearance at Villa Park and is seeking a new challenge this summer. Despite some opinions suggesting he may be slightly overrated after winning the Best Goalkeeper award twice following his World Cup success, the 32-year-old is undeniably a proven performer in the Premier League and possesses the necessary temperament to thrive at United.</p><br>

<p>Andriy Lunin may be the most challenging option to secure from this list, as Real Madrid appears unwilling to let the Ukrainian go this summer. Lunin serves as Thibaut Courtois's backup and there are reports suggesting he seeks regular first-team action. Since joining Madrid from Zorya Lugansk in 2018, he has made only 62 senior appearances, but remains highly regarded at the Santiago Bernabeu. He notably contributed to Madrid's Champions League success in the 2023/24 season, playing in the knockout stages before losing his starting position for the final. Lunin is an impressive goalkeeper who knows the pressures of playing for a top club, making a transition from Madrid to Manchester a feasible next step.</p><br>
<p>Senne Lammens is considered a long-term successor to Courtois for the Belgian national team, and Manchester United has been actively scouting him throughout his tenure at Royal Antwerp. Reports suggest that Lammens could be available for under €25m, though United would face competition, particularly from Inter Milan, who are keen on securing this talented goalkeeper. The 23-year-old is recognized as one of the top emerging goalkeepers in Europe, but there are concerns about whether he is prepared to make the leap to a top-five league, let alone join one of the biggest clubs in the world.</p>
