Manchester United belongs to a number of clubs that guard Aaron Ramsdale while offering to repair their goalkeeper crisis.
Ruben Amorim dropped Andre Onana for yesterday's game in Newcastle.
His replacement, Altay Bayindir,, however, underwent a scorching afternoon when United was beaten 4-1 in St James Park.
It left Amorim with a large headache prior to the Crunch match against Lyon.
But in the longer term, the future of both keepers is now in the spotlight when United looks at a summer interrogation.
Securing a new goalkeeper becomes a more urgent problem for Amorim and Ramsdale – also closely aware of West Ham – has emerged as a possible target.
The former England, Arsenal and Sheffield United Shot stopper will leave Southampton degraded at the end of the season.
Although he is part of a horror season for the saints, Ramsdale has emerged with his reputation intact and is still seen as one of the best keepers in the country.
United has looked at his recent competitions and think that his Premier League experience could make him a strong option to solve their problems in leaking goals.
But United is confronted with a fight with West Ham. Graham Potter is supposed to have identified Ramsdale as an important target in his summer building track in London Stadium.
Ramsdale is also praised by clubs abroad. But Sunsport understands that his preference is to stay in England and in the Premier League and to play a place in the English team.
Sunday's performance from Stand-in Bayindir was the last thing United manager Ruben Amorim needed.
After he had taken goalkeeper Onana from the shooting line for Sunday's trip to Newcastle, the Portuguese looked at Forlorn while replacement Altay Bayindir gave four goals in a chastice defeat in St James' park.
To make matters worse, the Turkey International was to blame for the fourth of Newcastle after a bad pass.
“We have made many mistakes that made it harder to win a game – that's all,” said Amorim. “It's a bit of everything, it's hard to point out one thing.”
With a crucial Europa League quarter final second stage to follow Lyon on Thursday, United wants to quickly in the northeast behind them.
But Amorim is now confronted with a potentially seasonal decision to remember Onana or to stay with Bayindir.
