Man Utd linked with shock move for Aaron Ramsdale amidst goalkeeping crisis

Manchester United are being linked with a surprise move for Southampton's Aaron Ramsdale amidst a goalkeeping crisis at the club.

Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim was forced to take his number one Andre Onana out of the firing line for the Red Devils' 4-1 Premier League defeat at Newcastle following high-profile errors against Lyon in the Europa League last midweek, with deputy Atlay Bayindir struggling in his place.

United's problems in the goalkeeping department have prompted surprise reports linking the club with a move for England international Aaron Ramsdale, currently on the books of the Premier League's bottom side Southampton.

26-year-old Ramsdale has now endured three relegations from the Premier League - with Bournemouth, Sheffield United and now Southampton.

In spite of this unfortunate record, Ramsdale was able to prove himself as a more than capable Premier League goalkeeper at Arsenal, keeping 14 clean sheets for the Gunners in England's top flight in the 2022/23 season.

Ramsdale is a confident distributor of the ball out from the back which is likely to be appealing to Man Utd boss Amorim, and the club's hierarchy may view the Englishman as a potentially shrewd investment should he be available for a relatively modest price following Southampton's relegation.
