Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier. They view the Frenchman as a potential backup for Andre Onana.
Onana has become the first-choice goalkeeper at Old Trafford after arriving from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023. However, Altay Bayindir, who also arrived last summer from Fenerbahce, has failed to impress in his minimal opportunities. He made a couple of mistakes in their 4-3 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup quarter-final on Thursday.
Hence, as per journalist Alan Nixon (via GiveMeSport), Manchester United are looking for Bayindir's replacements. They have identified Meslier as an option, with his contract expiring in 2026. The Frenchman has been impressive for Leeds United this season, keeping 12 clean sheets in 22 Championship games.
