Ruben Amorim makes "personal request" for Manchester United to sign Champions League winner
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is determined to sign a new goalkeeper before the transfer window closes.
Incumbent number one Andre Onana was inconsistent at best last season, and has only recently returned to training after a summer injury.
Man United’s rebuild under Amorim has already brought in a trio of attackers in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko.
But the Portuguese manager now wants reinforcements between the sticks - and according to CaughtOffside, has made a “personal request” to Old Trafford executives.
With Paris Saint-Germain signing Lucas Chevalier, Gianluigi Donnarumma’s time in the French capital seems to be over. The 26-year-old has been left out of PSG’s squad for tomorrow’s (August 13) UEFA Super Cup clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
According to reports, his relationship with the PSG hierarchy has collapsed, and with his contract running until 2026, the French champions would rather cash in this summer than risk losing him for nothing.
Man United are leading the chase. Amorim has made Donnarumma a top priority, seeing him as the perfect successor to Onana.
Talks with agent Enzo Raiola are set for later this week over a deal that could keep him at Old Trafford until 2030.
PSG want around £26m, with Donnarumma open to joining another top club. Chelsea and Inter Milan are also circling, while Real Madrid are monitoring his situation.
