MUFC Needs Consistent Performers Like Emi Martinez – Saha

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez would be a success at Old Trafford, former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has said. He recently revealed that the Argentine is the top-class goalie MUFC needs ahead of the new season, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Saha said that it is no fluke that Emi Martinez has been voted the best goalkeeper in the world for two years, and the goalie actually earned both awards because he has been incredibly consistent for club and country.

He added that the Argentine should be brought in even if Onana stays, stressing that the Cameroon international needs to see that there is someone else around who is capable of keeping him on the bench.

His words, “Every top side needs a top class goalkeeper. Emi Martinez has been voted the best in the world for two years. He’s been exceptionally consistent with Aston Villa and Argentina. He’s done really well.

Those are the players United need. They need competition, and if Andre Onana stays, he’ll have to understand why another player is above him in the pecking order. They need great performers like United used to have.

Martinez won’t be able to rest on his reputation and just have a few good games.

He’ll need to be exceptional every game, and that is what you need especially from a goalkeeper. He’s a great shot-stopper, one of the best in the world. He’s also the kind of character that gives a side confidence, so it’ll be interesting to see if he did end up at Old Trafford.

He might not be as good on the ball, but I’ve not been overwhelmed by Onana’s ability with his feet either, there’s only been a few assists.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
