Ruben Amorim has worked tirelessly to improve its Manchester United team this summer prior to the new season, but the Red Devils have not been able to secure every player they are looking for
Manchester United has been told that Nick Pope is not for sale this summer, despite the fact that Newcastle United is about to sign Aaron Ramsdale. The Red Devils have been associated with a number of shot stoppers, because the future of Andre Onana is in the air, despite the fact that they only signed him from Inter Milan two years ago in a £ 47.2 million deal.
The 29-year-old from Cameroon has made 101 performances for United for the past two years. But he has only succeeded in preserving 25 clean sheets and giving a total of 148 goals.
The Red Devils are said to have asked AC Milan keeper Mike Maignan at the start of the transfer window, only for the 30-year-old to confirm the move. A daring loan movement for Aston Villa No. 1 Emiliano Martinez was also made, but the hope of an agreement there was quickly destroyed, whereby Villa only considered an exceptional offer for the World Cup 2022 World Cup winner winner.
Now it seems that United wants to bring Keeper Pope in Newcastle, according to Talksport, given his future as a starter in St James' Park is now questioning. The winners of the Carabao Cup close after the Ramsdale of Southampton, where the Magpies agreed a loan agreement with an option to buy for the 27-year-old.
Ramsdale traveled to Tyneside on Wednesday for a medical medical, while Newcastle seems to get new talent to challenge Pope for his place in the team. Despite speculation, the English international will leave the northeast this summer, with Manchester United a potential landing site, Sky Sports reports that Newcastle is not going to sell him.
It is said that Eddie Howe is looking for someone to compete with Pope instead of replacing him, because of his admirable versions in St. James' Park since his arrival in 2022.
Despite a deal that is approaching the completion of Newcastle and Southampton, Ramsdale was not the first choice of Magpies in terms of competition for their current number 1.
Newcastle gave a large part of the window priority to Burnley's James Trafford and even submitted an £ 31 million bid for the 22-year-old who made an impression in the championship in the past term. However, due to a return clause that Manchester City introduced in their deal with Burnley when they sold it to the Clarets in 2023, the Pep Guardiola team could conquer him £ 27 million instead.
Pope was in Doel for most of the 1-0 for the Newcastle United season for the K-League XI in the Suwon World Cup Stadium on Wednesday, with Kim Jin-Kyu who slid home the winner after 36 minutes. Joe Willock's worrying of injury Leave is just another problem for the club to deal with.
In addition to not playing a full team for the collision, Newcastle Talisman Alexander Isak could still lose, which is open to say goodbye to the club. The Swedish striker wants to explore his options elsewhere, and Liverpool seems to be the most likely step for Isak, but no agreement has yet been reached between the clubs.
Elsewhere, the Red Devils have strongly familiarized Altay Bayindir for their own pre-season efforts, with Onana offside with a hamstring injury that was sustained earlier this summer in training. The 27-year-old impressed the 0-0 collision of United with Leeds earlier this month, before he also played a major role in the 2-1 victory of the Red Devils on West Ham on Sunday. He is also expected to start with Bournemouth on Soldier Field during the United game on Thursday, with the start at 2.30 a.m. in the UK.
Whether United will continue their efforts from looking at the prospect of signing Pope after the rise of Newcastle's strong attitude can still be seen. But the right price can run heads, since he is in the last 12 months of his contract.
