Manchester United’s struggles between the posts this season have been a major talking point, with costly errors from Andre Onana contributing to their inconsistency.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper, who arrived for £43.8 million, has endured a difficult campaign, with mistakes in key matches raising concerns over his long-term suitability as the club’s number one.
Ruben Amorim, assessing the squad he has inherited, has reportedly identified the goalkeeping department as an area in need of strengthening.
While Onana’s performances have been under scrutiny, doubts have also emerged over back-up option Altay Bayindir, prompting the club to explore potential reinforcements.
Scouts had been monitoring Leeds United’s Illan Meslier as a possible addition, but reports now indicate United have decided against making a move for the Frenchman.

Concerns over his consistency, highlighted by recent high-profile errors, have led the club to look elsewhere, with two alternatives now at the top of their shortlist.
Burnley’s James Trafford and Espanyol’s Joan Garcia have emerged as the leading candidates, with both impressing in their respective leagues.
Trafford has been a standout performer in the Championship, while Garcia has built a reputation as one of LaLiga’s top young goalkeepers, attracting interest from Arsenal last summer.
With Amorim keen to solidify the position and provide real competition for the number one role, United’s goalkeeping overhaul could be a key storyline in the summer transfer window.
