  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Ruben Amorim was reportedly open to the idea of bringing in a new No.1 during the summer transfer window of 2025. United are, however, aware that a serious freshening up of their squad is required - with that process already well underway.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    More big money can be spent at Old Trafford, but there is not enough to cover all bases. With that in mind, the acquisition of a new "top-tier goalkeeper" will continue to slip down Amorim’s list of priorities.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Express Sport claims that Onana is poised to retain his starting berth between the sticks in 2025-26. That is despite making a number of costly errors across his two seasons in English football. The 29-year-old remains determined to prove his worth.

    TELL ME MORE

    It is claimed "the prevailing sentiment at Old Trafford" is that Onana will not be offloaded. Turkey international Altay Bayindir and veteran keeper Tom Heaton will remain as back-up options - with the latter set to be offered a one-year contract extension.

  • WHAT NEXT?

    With Onana staying and United investing funds in other areas, interest in Aston Villa’s World Cup-winning shot-stopper Emi Martinez is set to be shelved. The Argentina international was said to be waiting on an offer from Old Trafford while mulling over his future options.
