While most fans expect reinforcements in midfield, INEOS also has plans to improve goalkeeping.
Senne Lammens has proven himself worthy of the number 1 shirt, but the Red Devils want quality back-up given the uncertain future of their three current options.

Andre Onana, on loan at Trabzonspor, has no future at Old Trafford and will most likely be sold once the window opens.
Two goalkeepers about to be sold
Altay Bayindir is expected to follow suit, with Besiktas leading the hunt for his signature. Tom Heaton’s contract ends in the summer.
Which explains why, according to Football Insider, the 20-time English league champions are interested in a backup who can compete with their Belgian goalkeeper.
“Man United are making plans to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer transfer window as they prepare to let two of their current options go.
“Andre Onana is currently on loan at Turkish side Trabzonspor and there is a growing feeling that he will be allowed to leave permanently come the summer.

Lammens reinforcement will be hired
“Meanwhile, Altay Bayindir is believed to be closing in on a move away from Old Trafford with Besiktas the leading candidate for his signature.
“Senne Lammens has established himself as the undisputed number one under Michael Carrick, and any signing in the summer will likely be a backup for him.”
Academy graduate Radek Vitek has been on fire for Bristol City and there are rumors that he could be included in the first team next season.
Whether that would stunt his growth is an entirely separate issue. It will be interesting to see which goalkeeper is ultimately selected.
