Manchester United are reportedly eyeing the potential transfer of a new goalkeeper to come in and challenge David de Gea for his place in the starting XI.
That’s according to a report on Man Utd’s transfer targets in The Athletic, which states that the Red Devils want competition for De Gea and for their current crop of attacking players.
De Gea hasn’t looked at his best at the start of this season, with the Spanish shot-stopper clearly to blame for the first two goals Brentford scored in their surprise 4-0 victory at the weekend.
In the past, De Gea has been one of United’s star performers, but it’s fair to say the club could now do well to think about bringing in another ‘keeper in case their first choice is now past his best.
The report doesn’t name any specific targets for the role, but some United fans might well be wondering if Dean Henderson was the man they should’ve kept around for precisely this reason.

With De Gea now struggling, this looks like another poorly-judged piece of transfer business by MUFC.
