As summer approaches, Manchester United is bracing for a whirlwind of transfer activity, particularly in the goalkeeping department. With uncertainty surrounding Andre Onana's future, fans are eager to see how the club will navigate this critical off-season.

United's hopes for securing Europa League glory under manager Ruben Amorim are intertwined with their transfer ambitions. The latest buzz suggests that they are eyeing Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha to bolster their attacking options—an area that desperately needs reinforcement.

However, the goalkeeping situation is equally pressing. Amorim had previously indicated a desire to bring in two new goalkeepers, a plan that faltered during the January window but could resurface this summer.

Diogo Costa Out of Reach?

One name at the top of United's wishlist is Porto's highly-rated goalkeeper Diogo Costa. Reports indicate that United hold considerable admiration for the Portuguese star, which is only amplified by Amorim’s connections.

Yet, there’s a catch: United reportedly cannot meet Costa's hefty £63 million release clause and are set to be outbid by rivals Manchester City, who are preparing a £50 million bid to secure Costa as a replacement for Ederson.

Crisis in Goalkeeping: What’s Next for United?

With Altay Bayindir's departure and Tom Heaton's contract expiring, the need for reinforcements is urgent. Onana's inconsistent performances have only added fuel to the fire, prompting speculation about whether he might be sold to fund new acquisitions.

The Mirror reports that United could offload Onana for around £20 million, which would open the door for new signings. But with a focus on Cunha, any move for Costa appears unlikely.

Shifting Focus: Other Potential Signings?

With top-tier goalkeepers out of reach, United may turn their attention to more attainable talents. They are eyeing Freddie Woodman from Preston North End and Aynsley Pears from Blackburn Rovers as homegrown alternatives to fill the gap.

The stakes are rising as Manchester United faces the possibility of watching their target join bitter rivals City. Will United be able to turn their fortunes around and bring in the reinforcements they need?
