Manchester United’s goalkeeping division remains a field of intense scrutiny.
With mixed performances that continue to plague the final line of defense of the season, the Red Devils are already looking ahead to find a solution.
The club signed Royal Antwerp young goalkeeper Senne Ranmen on the deadline, but United appears to see him as a future prospect, and not necessarily the final answer.
Currently, according to Talksport, United are actively monitoring Mike Maignan as a signature of potential marquees for 2026, suggesting that they want to strengthen their position of experience and quality.
Man United is interested in Mike Maignan
The Red Devils maintain the Mainyan tab for AC Milan, and their contract is expected to expire next summer.
The French are considered the ideal option. Because he checks out many boxes United are looking for as goalkeepers. The French goalkeeper is known for his excellent footwork, high accuracy in passing, and his ability to play the high defensive line that manager Reuben Amorim demands at Old Trafford.
His ability to step down the line of Mainyan and act as a sweeper keeper suits modern playing styles.
Red Devil has problems with goalkeeping position
Altay Bayindir is currently a Manchester United starter, but his performance is under scrutiny.
The goalkeeper struggled to push his authority into the box and the failure to comfortably deal with the set piece was a source of great concern for the Red Devils.
The fact that United are already exploring Mainyan suggests they are not entirely certain.
It reinforces the narrative that Amorim and club hierarchies view goalkeeper positions as a priority demanding reinforcement.
