Manchester United are considering a move for Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow as a potential alternative to signing Inter’s Andre Onana.
United are considering alternatives to Onana, with Bijlow and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Kevin Trapp both being looked at, per the Daily Mirror. Financial Fair Play restrictions have impacted United’s budget and, as a result, they do not believe they will be able to afford Inter’s £60 million ($76m) asking price.
Feyenoord would demand £20m ($25m) for Bijlow, a much more affordable fee for United to reach, while Trapp would cost half that figure. Bijlow is 25 and has won eight caps for the Netherlands while making a total of 119 appearances for the Dutch club.
Uncertainty continues to hang over David de Gea’s future, as he is technically a free agent after his contract expired at United, with the club making a U-turn over sanctioning a new deal.
He has endured a difficult season, making a number of high-profile errors, and manager Erik ten Hag is said to be determined to sign a new goalkeeper this summer.
United will hope to clarify De Gea’s future, and are then likely to make a decision over a new goalkeeper.
