United prepared to take brutal late step in order to bring in Champions League hero for Amorim – report

Manchester United’s attack has been completely revamped, and now Ruben Amorim seems to be on the hunt for reinforcements in midfield and in goal.

Carlos Baleba is the top midfield target, but player sales will need to be conducted before INEOS can think of bringing him in.

As for the goalkeeping position, Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir have both been linked with exits, but so far, they remain at the club.

In fact, the Cameroonian has not played a single minute in pre-season due to injury, but he remains confident of regaining full fitness before the season opener against Arsenal.

Goalkeeping dilemma

As for the Turkish ace, he has looked shaky at times, but he did save a penalty against Fiorentina. There are rumours that he wants regular minutes and is keen to leave and return to his homeland.

Amorim would, ideally, like to bring in a top quality new No.1, but a lot will depend on whether the Red Devils can move on their current two options in goal.

Should Bayindir depart, INEOS are likely to target a low-cost option, capable of challenging Onana for the top spot. Senne Lammens of Royal Antwerp fits the bill.

As revealed by TBR Football, the 20-time English league champions are prepared to loan out Onana, and then try and secure Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain.

“We are told that Man United would consider allowing Onana to leave on a loan deal should they find a new number one between the sticks.

“Manchester United are open to making changes in their goalkeeping department and Onana is aware. There is a chance to bring in a Donnarumma or Martinez, one of the best keepers in the world, and United are tempted.

Brutal Andre Onana step being planned

“However, understandably there is a lot of interest in Donnarumma – him being available is something more than just United think is a great opportunity.”

PSG are open to a sale, having brought in Lucas Chevalier, and The Peoples Person has already relayed that direct talks have taken place between the Italian and United.

In fact, the Old Trafford side are prepared to submit an opening offer as well. Whether Onana leaves will be interesting to see.

There were reports linking him with an exit earlier in the window, but with Amorim hellbent on improving the team’s attack, his place seemed secure. But things could change in the last three weeks of the transfer window.
