Manchester United might have secured their major targets early within the window, however that doesn’t imply that Erik ten Hag has completed his summer time switch enterprise.
Whereas the membership did handle to safe the signing of Andre Onana from Inter Milan for £42m final month, the cohort of goalkeepers is sorely missing in numbers.
David de Gea left the membership as a free agent, whereas Matej Kovar has secured a £7m transfer to Bundesliga facet Bayer Leverkusen.
Dean Henderson remains to be eager on a transfer to Nottingham Forest, though he’s, at current, injured, that means that he’s neither an enough backup nor a supply of funds as issues stand. Additionally injured is Tom Heaton, the one reserve goalkeeper joyful to be on the membership.
Within the midst of all of it, Jack Butland – who spent the second half of final season on mortgage at Outdated Trafford – joined Rangers on a free switch.
Now, in accordance with the Scottish Herald, one other goalkeeper may very well be shifting in the other way: Robby McCrorie.
The 25-year-old is alleged to be contemplating his choices following Butland’s arrival on the Ibrox, with the previous Crystal Palace man taking up as first selection goalkeeper for Rangers.
Man United are reportedly eager to reap the benefits of his state of affairs, and are stated to have “opened a dialogue” with McCrorie’s camp over the previous few days.
Additionally among the many events are Hull Metropolis and Polish champions Rakow Czestochowa, both of whom would be capable of provide first workforce soccer to the Scot.
With a price ticket of £1m, McCrorie will surely symbolize a finances choice to make up the numbers in United’s goalkeeping division.
There’s little to counsel he can be a top quality addition, nevertheless. He has made simply 5 league appearances for Rangers since becoming a member of the membership in 2021. He has additionally been capped as soon as by Scotland within the UEFA Nations League.
If the intention is to offer Onana with some type of problem, McCrorie is solely not the reply. But when Ten Hag is set to speculate his spare funds into different areas of the workforce, a keeper out there at a knock-down value does make some sense.
