Man United is already busy this summer, and their intention is to close out more signatures in the coming weeks. There is a demand for Bryan Mbeumo and a new striker, and the goalkeeper appears to be on the agenda.
Andre Onana has been seeking a lot of criticism during his two years of spell at Man United, and he has the chance to replace it. Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi has emerged as a major candidate to replace him at Old Trafford, but he is not the only player considered by club officials.

As Borabip reported, Man United rekindled interest in John Victor. The 29-year-old is Botafogo’s outstanding performer at the Club World Cup, and his reward for his form could be a move to Manchester.
Man United is ready to pay John £10 million, according to the report. Botafogo doesn’t want to sell, but it’s open to negotiations, but it’s not yet clear what their asking price is for the Brazilian, the only goalkeeper who has held a clean sheet against PSG at the Club World Cup.
John was able to arrive as a Man United starter, but if Onana stayed, he would likely replace Altay Bayindir as the club’s backup goalkeeper. But he’s more than capable of propelling Old Trafford’s starting spot.
It remains to be seen whether Man United is taking a serious pursuit for John. At this point, we may rely on the leaves of the tuna that seem unduly unlikely for the time being.
