Andre Onana has suffered a lot of criticism after a series of serious mistakes in the last season. Although coach Ruben Amorim tried to give Altay Bayindir when losing faith in Onana, the Turkish goalkeeper did not prove himself enough to take on the number one role. In this context, Man United was forced to find a more experienced plan.

According to TalkSport, Nick Pope is a possible goal in both professional and financial. Football Insider revealed that Pope's transfer fee only ranges from 10 to 15 million pounds, the number is completely within Man United's ability to pay, especially when the summer budget is tightened.
Meanwhile, Newcastle is also preparing for the breakup script Pope. Initially, they considered James Trafford as an ideal alternative. However, the plan to collapse when Manchester City unexpectedly triggered the acquisition of £ 27 million to bring Trafford back to Etihad. Faced with that situation, coach Eddie Howe turned to Aaron Ramsdale, who was wearing Southampton after leaving Arsenal last year.
Ramsdale left Emirates after losing his position to David Raya. Despite landing at Southampton with the desire to redo his career, the British goalkeeper could not help the relegation team successfully. With The Saints having to play in the Championship next season, they are more likely to sell high -paying stars to reduce the salary fund load.
On the United side, although Onana repeatedly disappointed, coach Amorim still plans to trust him in the early stages of the season. However, internal sources say the club is trying to bring a quality goalkeeper to compete fairly with the Cameroon star, thereby creating a more fierce environment to promote Onana to improve his performance. And Nick Pope, with the bravery and calmness that has been confirmed in the Premier League, may be the perfect piece for that plan.
