If Andre Onana is unable to recover the consistency and form that drew the club to sign him from Inter Milan, Victor’s goalkeeping, aerial presence, and reliable passing could provide vital cover.
John Victor has been previously linked with a move to Manchester United.
Missing out on At 6′ 5″, he offers the physical supremacy that United has been demanding.
Instead of sitting passively, Victor takes initiative and frequently breaks his line to assert himself or punch clear.
In the Premier League, a goalkeeper who is in control of his area could be the difference between missed chances and clean sheets
This is due to the fact that there are always aerial battles and that every set piece could be dangerous.
Missing out on Victor will be a blow for the Red Devils.
