Manchester United are planning to revamp their squad after several players failed to prove their worth under manager Ruben Amorim.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Man United want to sign a new goalkeeper to compete with Andre Onana this year.
Altay Bayindir was handed a rare opportunity in Man United’s League Cup quarter-final clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
However, he made two glaring mistakes, including conceding directly from a corner late in the game. The Manchester Evening News described his error as ‘pathetic‘.
Bayindir is ‘not regarded as a credible competition’ to Onana. If United secure a replacement this month, Bayindir could head for the exit door at Old Trafford.
Onana has had a mixed season. He quickly established himself as a pivotal member of United’s starting XI after a series of stellar performances in the early part of the campaign.
With six Premier League clean sheets to his name, he provided the much-needed stability between the sticks, something that was sorely lacking last season.
The 28-year-old won the Premier League Save of the Month award for September and November.
His impressive start helped him lead the race for the 2024/25 Golden Glove award. However, old habits die hard.
Onana made several mistakes last season, and those errors have resurfaced in his recent displays.
His performances over the past month have been underwhelming, with the £29 million-rated goalkeeper guilty of several high-profile blunders.
Amorim is keen to overhaul the goalkeeping department with Tom Heaton in the final six months of the contract.
Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens is one of their potential transfer targets.
