Manchester United could yet make a drastic change to their goalkeeping contingent before the window slams shut in a few weeks’ time.
It’s no secret that, heading into the summer, INEOS’s utmost priority was granting Ruben Amorim forward reinforcements in the aftermath of a campaign in which United scored just 44 Premier League goals.
Now, it’s safe to say that the boss has been backed in that department, given he will enter 2025/2026 with a completely new-look frontline following the additions of Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
United consider late swoop for new shot-stopper with Gianluigi Donnarumma among candidates
The business might not end there for the Reds, though.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the key decision-makers at Old Trafford are still mulling over the potential arrival of a new shot-stopper.
He explained on YouTube last night that INEOS are contemplating whether a younger, cheaper target, such as Senne Lammens of Royal Antwerp, would be the most suitable route to take, or whether they go purely for experience in the form of either Emiliano Martinez or Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Of the two seasoned pros, Donnarumma looks the most likely to depart his club this summer after reaching a stalemate in contract negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain.
Donnarumma tempted by United interest
What’s more, talkSPORT reporter Anil Kandola claims Donnarumma, a Champions League winner in 2024/2025, has set his sights on a move to the 20-time English champions if he is to leave the Parc des Princes in the coming weeks.
Amorim is said to be ‘pushing’ INEOS behind the scenes to sanction the arrival of a new No.1, although it remains to be seen what it would mean for Andre Onana, whom the club forked out £47.9 million for only two years ago.
He has garnered interest from the Saudi Pro League and Monaco, so it may be worth United putting the feelers out now to gauge the prospect of the Cameroonian cutting short his tenure in M16.
MU’s 1st move for the summer should have been the sacking of Amorim and getting a good manager. This should have been then followed up with the signing of a new keeper, a defensive midfielder and then selling the keeper and Zirkzee followed by allowing some to leave on their own and MU would be on the road to a rebuild.
Sidhu48, Wow. How is it possible to be so wrong?
When Manchester United win the title within the next 3 years with Amorim in the hot seat my opinion will have aged better than yours!
I agree! They also should have sacked Ferguson after the way he started at the club! He didn’t win a cup for about 4 years! Disgraceful!
U suck
I guess u ain’t a man u fan right? Erick have battled with the bomb squad for seasons while the coming of amorin pave way for those exit. Hungary players in and re coming mre. Do u think the manageria aspect of MAN U is an ABC business? get the f***k off with ur opinion
Really?
Sacking of Amorim? How many managers do you sack to get things right? Amorim is not the problem, Another Manager will replace and still struggle, let him have his time to build his squad then you judge him with that
Do you even follow United? Gk and midfielder was always on the agenda but they focused on the attack as it was glaringly obvious the front line, was thread bare. If you have noticed Antony, Rashford. Sancho weren’t part of uniteds plans last season, hojlund has failed to deliver and garnacho, who had problems under Ten Hag didn’t change his ways. So basically United had zirkzee left in the forward line department and you’re saying he should be sold too? Nobody would disagree with replacing Onana or getting another midfielder, which is most likely anyway.
Shut up 🤬 you have no idea what you are talking about
Rather, it’s best if you simply got the f off this platform.
You not a Man Utd fan.. go watch your club, thank u!!!
I real die hard UTD fans will stick with Amorin because he is doing the right thing that so many managers has not being able to do in years, let give him the chance and time to build his team with the hungry players that want to play for the barge
