Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing journalist Alan Nixon, reported on Sunday, June 7 that Manchester United are considering signing Sam Johnstone from relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers.
- Senne Lammens is established as United’s No.1, Tom Heaton has been given a one-year extension and Altay Bayindir is attracting interest that could free the main backup role.
- Andre Onana has returned from a season-long loan at Trabzonspor but is not in United’s plans and the Turkish club’s president has said they want to pursue a permanent deal, with United reportedly valuing Onana at about €45m.
- Johnstone is 33, played sparingly for Wolves last season, joined them in 2024 and has roughly two years left on his contract, which could make him an affordable, experienced option for Old Trafford.
- United have also formally completed the signing of midfielder Ederson, and any move for Johnstone would be conditional on goalkeeper departures and would shape Michael Carrick’s squad depth for next season.
