Manchester United are reportedly looking to get rid of Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton in the summer transfer window.
There have been rumours that Manchester United are looking to invest in the goalkeeping department heading into the summer transfer window, and they are looking to create room in the area of their squad by getting rid of backup shot-stoppers Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton, as per a report by Football Insider.
It has been a disappointing season for Manchester United, and their goalkeeping department has fallen short of expectations. Andre Onana has been a let-down at times, and his error-prone performances have cost Manchester United valuable points.
Bayindir has been given the opportunity in the Premier League as well, and the Turkish goalkeeper has failed to live up to expectations, his exploits in the FA Cup win over Arsenal notwithstanding. Heaton is in the twilight stages of his career, and it is not surprising that Manchester United have chosen to move on.
Manchester United must sign two quality goalkeepers
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can bring in a quality goalkeeper in the summer transfer window. They have been linked with multiple players over the last few months, including Diogo Costa. It is an area of the pitch that needs quality reinforcements, and Manchester United must bring a reliable shot-stopper in the summer.
It has been a while since Manchester United won a major trophy, and a club of their stature should be fighting towards the top of the table. The Red Devils need quality players to bounce back strongly. It remains to be seen whether they can plug one of their major weaknesses during the summer transfer window. There is no doubt that they have the bones of a very good, and a few quality additions could take them to the next level.
Along with a quality backup option, they should look to invest in a reliable first-choice goalkeeper as well. Onana has clearly failed to make his mark in the Premier League, and holding on to him is unlikely to benefit Manchester United. It will be interesting to see who they end up signing in the summer.
