Manchester United have already signed their new number one in Andre Onana, but Erik ten Hag is still on the lookout for goalkeepers.
With David de Gea having left as a free agent and veteran back-up Tom Heaton injured, Dean Henderson is Man Utd’s only other senior ‘keeper as things stand.
As such, it’s little surprise that the 13-time Premier League champions would want to bring in another body in that department – after missing out on Japan prodigy Zion Suzuki.

Man Utd add two midfielders in ADDITION to €24m transfer
Erik ten Hag is set to boost his Manchester United midfield ranks by promoting two prodigious academy talents to the first team.
That’s in addition to the seemingly imminent arrival of Morocco star Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina.
Meanwhile, United’s midfield shake-up could see two big names depart: Fred is poised to join Fenerbahce, while Scott McTominay has been linked with a move to West Ham – who have just agreed a deal for Harry Maguire.

Harry Maguire’s proposed move from Manchester United to West Ham won’t be completed just yet, according to Fabrizio Romano.
West Ham had a bid of around £30m for the England defender accepted on Thursday (August 10), having fallen short with their opening bid.

Man Utd FLOP sparks transfer battle
Aston Villa have joined the list of clubs keeping tabs on Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho, who continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer.
Sancho joined Man Utd from Borussia Dortmund for £72.9m (€85m) in 2021, but it’s fair to say the England winger hasn’t provided value for money.
And, having struggled to find his groove with the 13-time Premier League champions, the time might just have come for the 23-year-old to leave for his next challenge.
