Bayindir is expected to leave United<\/a>, though, and that means United will need to find another goalkeeper.<\/p>\n<p>United may be tempted to sign a younger goalkeeper who can compete with Onana at first, before then taking over as first-choice stopper down the line.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" loading=\"lazy\"

was believed to be on United\u2019s radar<\/a> earlier this year, with reports suggesting that Ruben Amorim fancied the Japanese stopper for a summer move.<\/p>\n<p>Those reports added that Parma wanted \u00a345million for Suzuki this summer, a price United may not have been interested in paying for a second-choice stopper.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham United have now tried their luck with a move for Suzuki, but have been sent packing by Parma.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parmalive.com\/mercato\/il-west-ham-mette-nel-mirino-suzuki-offerta-da-25-milioni-ma-l-intenzione-del-parma-e-del-portiere-e-chiara-237355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer

Areola, but will have to come up with a better offer to secure a deal.<\/p>\n<p>That offer is not even half of the rumoured \u00a345million asking price, so the Hammers are a long way away from an agreement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>United\u2019s long-term interest in Zion Suzuki unlikely to disappear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Suzuki\u2019s name will not be a new one for many United supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Reports from Japan in the summer of 2023 suggested that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/transfer-news\/manchester-united-close-in-on-record-breaking-transfer-with-deal-imminent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United were set to sign Suzuki<\/a> from Urawa Red Diamonds.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/transfer-news\/ten-hag-target-explains-why-he-rejected-manchester-united-move-this-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Suzuki rejected the move to United<\/a> and instead headed to Belgium with Sint-Truiden.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than sit on the bench at United, Suzuki tested himself with regular first-team action in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>That certainly aided Suzuki\u2019s development and his stock is on the rise after just one year at Parma.<\/p>\n<p>United will still have Suzuki on the radar as Amorim considers goalkeeping additions, but could yet see him join a Premier League rival this summer.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are looking at
