In a decisive move, Manchester United is ramping up their interest in Parma's promising goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, following a series of blunders by Andre Onana that have left fans frustrated.
Onana's costly mistakes were again highlighted during the recent 2-2 draw against Lyon, where he was criticized for conceding two avoidable goals. Former Man Utd midfielder Nemanja Matic's harsh remark that Onana is the "worst goalkeeper in the club's recent history" is ringing alarm bells for the Red Devils.
Reports indicate that United has resumed scouting Suzuki, a 22-year-old goalkeeper who was previously on their radar during Erik ten Hag's tenure. With Onana's performance issues mounting, a new goalkeeper seems increasingly essential for the club.
Parma has set Suzuki's price tag at a hefty £40 million, making it clear they value their star player highly. United had an eye on him when he was still with Urawa Red Diamonds but lost out when he went on loan to Sint-Truiden before finally signing with Parma for around £6.5 million.
The summer transfer window is pivotal for Manchester United, with ambitions to create a squad suited to coach Ruben Amorim's preferred 3-4-3 formation. While a striker is at the top of their wishlist, strengthening the goalkeeper position may also become urgent if Onana fails to improve.
Amorim faces a challenge: balancing new acquisitions with the club's Profitability and Sustainability Rules, which necessitate player sales to finance big signings. Criticism from former Watford striker Troy Deeney, who described Onana's display as "amateur hour," only adds pressure for United to make decisive changes.
As the clock ticks down to the summer window, will Manchester United be able to secure Suzuki and find the solution to their goalkeeping woes? The drama is just beginning!
