Report: Man United approach Arsenal target to solve crucial position in the team | OneFootball

Manchester United are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia as a potential replacement for Andre Onana, according to COPE.

Andre Onana, who joined Manchester United from Inter Milan in 2023, has faced criticism for a series of high-profile errors.

Despite moments of brilliance, including crucial saves in key matches, his inconsistency has raised questions about his long-term future at Old Trafford.

Manager Ruben Amorim is considering a summer overhaul of the squad, with the goalkeeping position under scrutiny.

While Onana has shown resilience and determination to retain his spot, the club’s interest in García suggests a desire to bolster competition for the number one jersey. ​

Garcia’s impressive form has not gone unnoticed. He has been instrumental in Espanyol’s campaign, earning accolades such as La Liga’s Save of the Month and playing a pivotal role in their promotion efforts.

Garcia’s potential transfer fee is estimated to be around £21 million, a figure that could rise depending on various factors, including international appearances.

Along with the Red Devils, their Premier League rivals Arsenal are also interested in signing the Spanish goalkeeper.

Mikel Arteta wants to make him the number two goalkeeper at the Emirates Stadium.

Garcia has the highest save percentage of all the goalkeepers in La Liga which makes it clear why interest is high in his services.

Along with signing a new goalkeeper, Man United are eyeing a move for a new striker to solve their issues on the other end of the pitch.

Amorim would have to be busy in the summer transfer window to add quality to his squad which is clearly missing this season.
