Manchester United’s summer rebuild is slowly taking shape.
Ruben Amorim has his hands full. A winger, a midfielder, and more goals up front; that much was always expected.
But now, another position has quietly moved up the priority list.; the goalkeeper.
Andre Onana arrived at Old Trafford in 2023 with high hopes.
He came from Inter Milan with big game experience and a hefty £47 million price tag.
But two seasons in, things have not gone as planned.
His form has been shaky, and his decision-making has been questioned.
There have been bright moments too, but consistency is still missing.
Amorim is not one to sit and wait.
According to Football Italia, he is not entirely comfortable with the current goalkeeping setup.
So now, Manchester United are ready to act.
A new name has climbed to the top of their shortlist.
The player is 24 with steady hands and strong in one-on-one situations.
And he has quietly built a solid reputation in Serie A.
United scouts have been watching him for months.
And now, the Red Devils are preparing a £34 million for Marco Carnesecchi offer to bring him to M16.
The Italian shot-stopper has become one of Atalanta’s most reliable players.
His numbers tell a clear story; 76 games, 28 clean sheets, and plenty of calmness under pressure.
Carnesecchi also has Champions League experience, which ticks another important box for United.
Atalanta, however, are not eager to let him go easily.
They are asking for closer to £40 million, but United believe they can bridge the gap with performance bonuses.
Still, one thing stands in the way; Andre Onana’s future.
If he stays, the Marco Carnesecchi to Manchester United deal might be shelved.
But if an exit happens, then Carnesecchi could be the man trusted to start a new chapter between the sticks at Old Trafford.
