A Northern Ireland international goalkeeper is reportedly close to returning to Manchester United, the eight-time Premier League champions.
The identity of the goalkeeper hasn’t been publicly confirmed in initial reports. What we do know: this is a return, meaning the player has previous ties to Old Trafford, likely through the club’s academy system.
What we know about the move
The Belfast Telegraph reported that the Northern Ireland keeper is “close to returning” to Manchester United. That phrasing suggests a deal is advanced but not yet finalized.
Andre Onana, the club’s current first-choice goalkeeper, has been linked with a loan move to Turkish club Trabzonspor. That potential departure would create a gap in United’s squad that needs filling.
