Manchester United may sign a super substitute goalkeeper! Onana Bayindil will be sold, and one person wants to challenge Ramens

According to the Swedish "Express" report, Manchester United has regarded Malmo goalkeeper Melker Ellborg as a target for next summer and may introduce him as a substitute for Senna Ramens. The 22-year-old Swedish goalkeeper has kept five consecutive clean sheets in all competitions.

In May of this year, Malmo suffered an injury to its main goalkeeper. Elborg stepped up and kept clean sheets in 5 consecutive games, including 4 league games. He only conceded 1 goal in a total of 7 games. However, after Malmo brought in veteran international goalkeeper Robin Olsen from Aston Villa in July, Elborg had to return to the bench.

Elberg waited for his opportunity to perform and finally played in the Europa League. Although the team lost 0-1 to Panathinaikos of Greece, Melberg saved a penalty kick during the game, which attracted the attention of Manchester United scouts.

After the game, Elberg said: "Penalty kicks are a bit like luck. I think I was lucky this time. I knew the opponent wanted me to go down and save first, so my plan was to delay the game. I usually do that in this situation, and it worked this time."

Elberg did not respond directly to the question of losing his starting position. "I am very happy to get this opportunity. I will show myself as much as possible on the court and prove myself, so I am not the kind of player who asks everywhere."

This attitude may satisfy Manchester United, because what the club wants now may be a reliable substitute for Ramens. The 23-year-old Belgian international has replaced Altay Bayindil as the Red Devils' starting goalkeeper in the past five games, and the team remains unbeaten.

If Manchester United chooses to sign Melberg, because he is only 10 months younger than Ramens, it may make Manchester United's goalkeeper equipment inexperienced. But former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster praised Lamenz's maturity, especially his ability to deal with crosses.

Forster commented: "He is full of confidence and dares to attack the ball and crosses in the penalty area. I think usually only Premier League goalkeepers who have played for many seasons can do that, but he did it when he first came. Whether he has the X element to become a great goalkeeper, that is, the special qualities that make good goalkeepers become great goalkeepers, requires further observation."

Foster continued to explain: "If you look at some of the best goalkeepers in the world right now, like Alisson, Courtois, Emiliano Martinez, they have some X-factors that make them world-class players. Ramens still needs to prove that he has it too, but his start has been absolutely brilliant."

Manchester United is expected to sell Andre Onana and Baindil permanently next summer. Shortly after Lamenz signed, Onana joined Trabzonspor in the Turkish Super League on a loan for one season; while Bayindil has been rumored to be with many strong teams in Türkiye.

Czech goalkeeper Radek Vitek, who was loaned out to Bristol City in the English Championship by Manchester United this season, also expressed that he would be very happy to return to the team in the future, suggesting that he wanted to challenge Ramens for his position. Of course, the 22-year-old goalkeeper will not rule out leaving Old Trafford if he cannot play. He joined the Red Devils at the age of 16.

Wittek started and played in all games at Bristol City, with 5 clean sheets. The team is currently ranked eighth in the standings. The Manchester United youngster quickly gained the love of local fans. In an interview with Sky Sports in the UK, Whittaker mentioned his future. "I will take it step by step next summer and see what is the best choice for me. I often communicate with Manchester United's goalkeeper coach, who has come to watch my games, and we have a good relationship. I know that the club is paying attention to me, and I am really grateful that they have not forgotten me! In the long run, of course I hope to play for Manchester United one day, but I am also realistic and know that my path may also lead to other directions."

During the 2020 COVID-19 epidemic, Vitek joined the Manchester United youth academy from Olomouc Sigma in the Czech Republic. "I heard that Manchester United wanted me and after seven weeks of trial training, they told me to sign directly. I had to stay at home for six months due to the coronavirus outbreak, but I had no doubts. I had a good chat with the Manchester United coach and that gave me confidence. My club at the time Knowing Manchester United's interest, they negotiated a contract. My teammates couldn't believe it, because it doesn't happen every day from the Czech youth training camp to Manchester United. "

This summer, Vitek renewed his contract with Manchester United until 2028, and then joined Bristol City on loan. He recalled: "It was a bit unexpected, but I knew I would be rented out this season because I had an agreement with the coach. It was the best choice I could make so that I could gain more experience at a higher level than last year. I had no hesitation, playing in the Championship for a club like Bristol City was really attractive. After I talked to coach Gerhard Struber, I immediately agreed."

Regarding his adaptation, Wittek, who had been rented out twice before, said he had no problem. "I'm still young, but I would describe myself as a goalkeeper who likes to dominate the pitch and have confidence in the team in front of me so that they can rely on me. From day one, everything went very well. The people around the club, the city...everyone was very good to me from day one, and so were the fans. The first away game against Sheffield Wednesday, the way we celebrated the victory, is a great memory I will never forget."
