Blunder Keeper Andre Onana will probably get an old Trafford -Levenslijn by default.
Ruben Amorim had told his recruitment personnel that he would like to be a new no. 1 this summer after a series of high -profile clangers from Onana.
Nevertheless, the Transfer Kitty of the Manchester United head coach will be determined by departure. . . And without massive outputs, Amorim has greater priorities in other positions.
The head of the list is a striker at the highest level, but he also has a central defender, left back and at least one midfielder aimed before replacing 29-year-old Onana.
He had shown interest in Porto keeper Diogo Costa, 25, but could not afford the £ 63 million release clause – the way free for neighbors.
Pep Guardiola is very enthusiastic, with doubts about Ederson and Backup Stefan Ortega who will stay in Etihad after this season.
Onana had previously been on the radar of the Saudi Pro League and sources say that United would do business with little more than £ 20 million – but that interest seems to have cooled.
The Cameroon Keeper was exhibited for last Sunday's trip to Newcastle after two more errors at Lyon in the 2-2 Europa League-equal game.
But he was back for the quarter-final second stage on Thursday evening and, despite the fact that he admitted four goals, a large number of impressive stops also made United's crazy wins.
Onana has let in 99 goals in just 69 Prem games since the signing of Inter Milan for a first £ 43.8 million in July 2023, but wants to prove that he is in the task.
Unless there is a pile of outputs, he is ready to get his wish, where Amorim first wants to sort other problem areas. . . Starting with attack.
Rasmus Hojlund is a flop and has scored one united goal since December. And although partner Joshua Zirkzee showed flashes, they have been too rare and he has now been crusted.
Portuguese Gaffer Amorim also feels that he is light in midfield and wants to strengthen it in the heart of his defense.
And despite the return of Luke Shaw who is relaxing at left back, the 29-year-old catalog of injuries in the past seasons means that Amorim still wants a first-team-ready arrival.
