Newcastle send message to Manchester United over Nick Pope transfer
Manchester United have expressed interest in signing Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope to challenge current Old Trafford No. 1 Andre Onana. The Red Devils have not ruled out bringing a new goalkeeper to the club this summer to compete with Onana. Onana was rated as one of the best goalkeepers in the world prior to his £43m move from Inter Milan in 2023 but the ex-Champions League finalist has flattered to deceive at United. The 29-year-old made a number of high-profile mistakes during United's dismal 2024-25 campaign and was left out of some squads towards the end of the season. Already questioning Onana's future at the club, the Manchester United hierarchy discovered the Cameroon international would not play on the club's pre-season tour after he suffered a hamstring injury in training.

Onana travelled to the States for the three-game Premier League Summer Series but is spending his time recovering ahead of the new season. Manchester United have been linked with a number of goalkeepers since Onana's injury blow and talkSPORT say England international Pope is the latest to be considered. Pope has been one of the most consistent goalkeepers in the Premier League for the best part of a decade, making almost 100 appearances for Newcastle since his £10m move from Burnley. The 33-year-old was injured for four months last season and Newcastle's own interest in goalkeepers this summer has raised speculation over his future at St James' Park. Carabao Cup holders Newcastle have been heavily linked with fellow England shot-stopper Aaron Ramsdale, who wants to leave Southampton following their relegation to the Championship. Ahead of facing his former club last season, Nemanja Matic labelled Andre Onana as 'one of the worst goalkeepers in the club's history'. Onana had earlier claimed Manchester United were 'way better' than Matic's Lyon, who they ended up beating on their way to the Europa League final. Matic, who played for United from 2017-2022, said: 'You know, I respect everyone but to say that then you need to give the answer. 'If you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United's history, you need to take care what you're talking about. 'If it was [Edwin] Van der Sar, [Peter] Schmeichel or [David] De Gea saying that, then I would question myself. But you need to have cover to say something like that.' Ramsdale's potential move to Newcastle would only increase speculation Pope will be sold as he enters the final 12 months of his contract at the Champions League club. Leeds United reportedly looked into the possibly of signing Pope earlier in the summer but Newcastle held firm and the Lilywhites have since signed Lucas Perri from Lyon for around £15m. While Newcastle are in talks with Southampton over a deal for Ramsdale, Sky Sports say the club have indicated they are not currently planning to sell Pope. Eddie Howe, planning for Newcastle's return to the Champions League, is keen to bring Ramsdale in but wants a new goalkeeper to challenge Pope rather than replace him. 'Nick Pope has performed admirably for them over the course of the last few seasons but unfortunately he's had a number of injuries,' Sky Sports' James Savundra said. 'Our understanding is Eddie Howe wants a goalkeeper to compete with Pope rather than replace Pope. 'You could have two England goalkeepers competing for the No. 1 jersey at Newcastle, knowing whoever gets it will have a great chance of going to the World Cup next summer.' More Trending In the injured Onana's absence, Altay Bayindir is Ruben Amorim's No. 1 during Manchester United's pre-season tour, but he too has been linked with an Old Trafford exit. United have shown interest in Emiliano Martinez but Aston Villa want at least £40m for the World Cup winner – a price the Red Devils are reluctant to meet. Manchester United have already spent over £120m on attacking duo Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Their pursuit of a goalkeeper is seen as less important than bringing in a new striker – Benjamin Sesko and Ollie Watkins are being considered after Viktor Gyokeres rejected them in favour of joining Arsenal.

Man Utd Set Price for £35M-Rated Man City Target as Option to Pursue PSG Star Emerges
PSG face increasing uncertainty in their goalkeeper position, with Lucas Chevalier emerging as a possible long-term solution. Although Gianluigi Donnarumma is under contract through 2026, extension talks have stalled without reaching an agreement. Moreover, could Manchester United be reshaping their goalkeeping chart with the thought of bringing in the UEFA Champions League winner? Recently, L'Équipe reported that Donnarumma started thinking about leaving PSG before the European season ended, even though he publicly expressed loyalty to the club. The report also says Manchester United and Manchester City have been interested in the Italian goalkeeper since June. PSG hopes to finalize Chevalier's signing before deciding on Donnarumma's future. Are Manchester United keen on adding PSG standout? Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images On Monday, CaughtOffside reported that Manchester United have set a price tag of £35 million to £40 million on Andre Onana. The club is increasingly open to selling him, especially since they could be targeting Donnarumma as his replacement. Teams from major markets like AS Monaco and Saudi Arabia have expressed interest, but Onana's own decision will play a big role in how things unfold. However, Manchester United may not be in a position to make a move. According to the Manchester Evening News, the club doesn't currently have a budget for a new No. 1 goalkeeper. Even so, Onana is not expected to leave. He's reportedly committed to staying at Manchester United and has been assured he won't be sold or replaced.

Lammens to Manchester United: Top goalkeeper ready to join 'dream' club
Manchester United appear to be prioritising revamping their goalkeeping department after the signing of Bryan Mbeumo. The Cameroon international is part of Ruben Amorim's squad travelling to the U.S. for the pre-season tour. His fellow countryman, Onana has also made the trip despite picking up a hamstring injury in training. It is unlikely that Onana returns to full fitness before the end of the tour, and if the club's recruitment team get their way, he won't feature for United after the tour either. Manchester United plan to rejuvenate their goalkeeping stock His understudy, Altay Bayındır, also faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford, with United keen to overhaul their goalkeeping department. Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming United held discussions with Aston Villa over the weekend about signing Emiliano Martínez on loan. Villa immediately rebuffed their offer, having slapped a £40 million price tag on their star shot-stopper. In recent days, United have also stepped up their interest in Royal Antwerp's highly-rated goalkeeper Senne Lammens, who is valued at around £17m. Lammens gives green light to Man United transfer According to CentreDevils' SullyTalkz, the Belgian talent is 'sitting at the top' of United's transfer wishlist alongside Martinez. It is understood that Ruben Amorim has given his approval and United have already initiated contact with the Belgian outfit to understand the 23-year-old's availability. Most importantly, Lammens has 'given the green light' to a move to United. The young goalkeeper reportedly sees the opportunity as a 'dream' move. However, at the moment, United are focusing on raising funds through sales to further strengthen Amorim's squad. The Mancunians are willing to cut ties with Bayindir. It is thought that should the Turkey international leave United, Lammens is at the top of the list to be his replacement. Meanwhile, United's pursuit of Martinez hinges on Onana's future. It has been previously reported that the Villa number one 'will not move' to Manchester if the Cameroonian remains at the club. online polls Featured image Octavio Passos via Getty Images Follow us on Bluesky: @

Manchester United make loan approach for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez after injury blow
Andre Onana has failed to impress in the two years he has spent at Old Trafford since arriving from Ajax, leading to speculation over his future. The need for United to act in the transfer market has been strengthened further by Onana suffering a hamstring injury in training earlier this month. That has ruled the 29-year-old out of United's pre-season tour of the United States, with Altay Bayindir set for a run of games for Ruben Amorim's side. The Daily Mail report that Onana is also expected to miss the start of the Premier League season and United have identified Martinez as a key target. It's claimed that internal discussions were held over the weekend about signing Martinez on loan, though it is viewed as extremely unlikely that Aston Villa would allow that. Martinez is valued at £40million by Villa and has a contract running until 2029, so the club are in a strong position should there be offers. The 32-year-old Argentine will also miss the start of the campaign, after he was sent off against United on the final day of last season as Villa missed out on Champions League qualification. Reports in Belgium, meanwhile, suggest that Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens is on United's shortlist too. The Belgian side said to be willing to sell for around £15m. United have turned their attention to a goalkeeper signing after completing a move for Bryan Mbeumo. The 25-year-old was officially unveiled on Monday, signing a five-year contract at Old Trafford to seal a £71m switch from Brentford.
