Manchester United have been linked with a shock Premier League goalkeeper as they look to solve their issues between the sticks. The Red Devils have been leaky defensively for the past two seasons and have not been helped by the inconsistency of their number one, Andre Onana. The 29-year-old was dropped against Newcastle after making two howlers against Lyon in midweek, leaving his teammates less than impressed .
This allowed Altay Bayindir to make his Premier League debut at St James’ Park, but he failed to cover himself in glory as United suffered a sobering 4-1 defeat . Now though, with rumours of Onana potentially being Saudi Arabia-bound, a possible replacement has been touted that may not go down well with the Old Trafford fanbase. Manchester United will need to have a rebuild in the summer months and one key star has potentially found his way onto their discard list United Linked With Aaron Ramsdale According to a report from The Sun, it is believed that Southampton's Aaron Ramsdale is thought to be on the list of potential shotstoppers tipped to replace Onana at Old Trafford .
The former Arsenal man recently suffered the indignity of his third Premier League relegation this term, and his stock has drastically fallen since he left the Emirates. United do have competition, though, as Graham Potter is also believed to be interested in the ex-Bournemouth star and wants to bring him to West Ham United. There is also believed to be interest from abroad, but the player's preference is to stay put in English football.
Scouts at Old Trafford have reportedly been keeping track of Ramsdale's performances this season, and believe that his Premier League experience could be an important factor in deciding to bring him in. However, supporters online are far from convinced this is the right move and have made their feelings incredibly clear. GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Aaron Ramsdale has made six errors leading to goals during his Premier League career.
Arteta came in for huge criticism over a bold call but this week has proven him right. Man United Fans React to Ramsdale Links Several Manchester United fans reacted to the news of Ramsdale's links to the club with dismay on social media, with one fan responding to the article saying: "Needed a laugh tonight so thank you for this." Others though focused on Ramsdale's record of staying in the top flight - or more so his inability too - and came to the same conclusion.
"Wow, okay. It won't end well. Quadruple of relegation incoming," claimed one, while a second said "I will be betting on us going down with him as our goalie.
" A third added to the negativity, saying that they didn't know "if to laugh or cry!" The more optimistic among the fanbase though were not totally against the idea, with many believing it would still be an upgrade to their current number one. "Man United needs to sign Ramsdale for next season as Southampton are relegated. He will be way better than Onana," stated one supporter, while another added: "Man United replacing Onana with Ramsdale isn't a bad idea.
