Manchester United have been scouring the world to explore options at the goalkeeper position, and could now have a decision to make.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The injury to Andre Onana<\/a> has placed a spotlight on the goalkeeping position at Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The Cameroon international has suffered a hamstring injury<\/a> and faces six weeks on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

This raises a series of questions for Manchester United, with uncertainty already existing over the future of Altay Bayindir<\/a>.<\/p>\n

United were already doing due diligence on potential goalkeeper signings, and there are a number of names in the mix, some familiar and others new.<\/p>\n

Manchester United\u2019s first and second choice goalkeepers are Andre Onana<\/a> and Altay Bayindir<\/a>, both of who have question marks over them.<\/p>\n

Transfer insider Graeme Bailey tells United In Focus<\/strong>: \u201cI am told that in an ideal world \u2013 everything being equal, if United had their way they would have replaced both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnana did have interest from Saudi Arabia and United were open to the idea, but now with his injury him moving is less likely.<\/p>\n

\u201cBayindir I am told has not attracted the sort of interest this expected, especially back his homeland \u2013 but his exit is still not totally ruled out.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo United\u2019s keeper search has been extensive given they could very well have been bringing in two.\u201d<\/p>\n

In terms of direct replacements for Andre Onana, there are four names who stand out as options for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

Bailey tells UIF<\/strong> that these four are Emiliano Martinez<\/a> at Aston Villa, Lucas Chevalier at Lille, Porto\u2019s Diogo Costa and Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s ability to move for any of this quartet is dependent on finances and player sales this summer. To date the club have not sold a single player, and are focusing the existing budget on attacking players.<\/p>\n

Bailey explains: \u201cTalks are ongoing over the current situation \u2013 it is something they are working on and seriously thinking about, but budgets are a worry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manchester United have an even longer list of potential replacements for Altay Bayindir, cheaper back-up options.<\/p>\n

While intrigued by academy youngsters Radek Vitek<\/a> and Elyh Harrison<\/a>, before pre-season there is no assumption either will step up. That would be something they have to prove.<\/p>\n

One new name on the club\u2019s list, United In Focus<\/strong> understand is Borussia Moenchengladbach goalkeeper Tiago Pereira Cardoso.<\/p>\n

Cardoso, 19, is a Luxembourg international who made his Bundesliga debut this past season, where he has three clean sheets in five appearances.<\/p>\n

Bailey explains: \u201cThey like Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and they have spoken about the option of him coming in. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere has even been conversations of someone like a Sam Johnstone to return or Nick Pope who could be realistic challengers if they came in.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this bracket is also Botafogo\u2019s John Victor \u2013 who has been offered to them and they do think he is an interesting option.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen there are the young options who they like and have watched, like and are keeping informed of they are the likes of Senne Lammens, Carl Rushworth and Anthony Patterson.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can also confirm they like Luxembourg international Tiago Pereira Cardoso at Borussia Monchengladbach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lammens and John Victor<\/a> have been linked to United with regularity over the past couple of months, along with Milinkovic-Savic.<\/p>\n

United In Focus reported interest in Brighton back-up Carl Rushworth<\/a> earlier in the transfer window.<\/p>\n

Former United stopper Sam Johnstone is another interesting name as a back-up. He was part of the 2011 FA Youth Cup winning squad<\/a>, and is currently on Wolves\u2019 books.<\/p>\n

The issue that concerns United fans the most is whether Onana will be replaced. His performances were inconsistent in 2024\/25 and ended on a sour note with the Europa League Final<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United have been scouring the world to explore options at the goalkeeper position, and could now have…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":64586,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[46009,44387,46010,46011,44388,46012,221,62,46013,67,132,68,46014,46015],"class_list":{"0":"post-64585","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-altay-bayindir","9":"tag-andre-onana","10":"tag-diogo-costa","11":"tag-emiliano-martinez","12":"tag-john-victor","13":"tag-lucas-chevalier","14":"tag-soccer","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-tiago-pereira-cardoso","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-vanja-milinkovic-savic","21":"tag-zion-suzuki"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114851048557172072","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64585\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
