Ramsdale on Red Devils’ Radar Amid Keeper Chaos
Manchester United are weighing up a summer move for Aaron Ramsdale as doubts grow around their current goalkeeper options, according to reports.
Manager Ruben Amorim is under mounting pressure to fix a position that’s quickly turning into a problem. After benching Andre Onana for Sunday’s 4-1 thrashing at Newcastle, Amorim watched his replacement, Altay Bayindir, struggle through a nervy Premier League debut — capped off by a costly error that gifted Newcastle their fourth goal.
With Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon looming large, the decision over who starts in goal has taken on serious significance. But beyond this week, the need for a new long-term solution is becoming more urgent.
Onana Out of Favour, Bayindir Underwhelming
Onana’s high-profile blunders against Lyon in the first leg — including a late equaliser that slipped through him — led to his omission at St James’ Park. Amorim said he wanted the Cameroonian to “clear his head,” but insiders believe patience is running thin. Club owners INEOS are reportedly open to offloading Onana this summer, even if it means accepting a lower fee.
Bayindir, meanwhile, has done little to stake a claim. After nine games on the sidelines, his return was marred by poor decision-making and a lack of composure. Former United captain Roy Keane didn’t hold back in his post-match analysis, calling the Turkish international’s mistake “basic” and “too risky.”
Ramsdale Emerges as a Leading Candidate
According to The Sun, United scouts have been keeping close tabs on Ramsdale, currently at Southampton. Despite the Saints enduring a brutal relegation season, the 26-year-old has drawn praise for his individual performances — making 105 league saves, including two penalty stops, placing him among the league’s most active shot-stoppers.
A move away from St Mary’s looks inevitable for Ramsdale, and staying in the Premier League is reportedly his top priority. West Ham are also in the hunt, with incoming manager Graham Potter a known admirer. But United may hold the edge, especially if Ramsdale sees the club as a path back into the England setup ahead of the Euros.
Summer Shake-Up Incoming
United’s goalkeeping woes add another item to a growing summer to-do list. Alongside the search for a reliable striker, Amorim and the recruitment team are now focused on bringing in an experienced, Premier League-proven keeper who can provide stability at the back.
With funds expected to be limited, Ramsdale’s experience and availability make him a realistic target — especially if Southampton lower their asking price after a disappointing campaign.
Whether Ramsdale ends up at Old Trafford remains to be seen, but one thing’s clear: Manchester United’s goalkeeper situation is far from settled, and all eyes will be on Amorim’s decision this Thursday — and the club’s next move in the market.
