Manchester United has their sights set on a new goalkeeper, with Melker Ellborg catching their attention. Despite recently signing Senne Lammens, the Red Devils are considering adding another young stopper to their roster.
Lammens, who joined the team from Royal Antwerp on September 1, has made a strong impression in the Premier League. Since making his debut on October 4, his presence in the goal has coincided with an increase in the team's performance and results. However, Manchester United is still searching for a suitable backup to the impressive Lammens, as neither Andre Onana nor Altay Bayindir seem to have a long-term future with the club.
In their search for a new goalkeeper, Manchester United has turned their attention to Sweden, specifically to Malmo's Ellborg. The 22-year-old has been making waves in the Allsvenskan league and the Europa League, with seven appearances in the top flight and two in Europe. In a recent Europa League match against Panathinaikos, Ellborg even saved a penalty in the team's narrow defeat.
According to reports from Swedish publication Expressen, Manchester United is among several clubs interested in signing Ellborg. The team has been scouting the Sweden youth international, with potential bids expected in January.
Meanwhile, Lammens has quickly established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper for Manchester United, earning praise from both teammate Harry Maguire and club legend Rio Ferdinand. Maguire was impressed by Lammens' performance in the team's 2-1 victory against Liverpool, while Ferdinand highlighted the goalkeeper's importance to the team's recent upturn in form.
However, not everyone is convinced by Lammens' potential. Former Liverpool and England striker Emile Heskey believes that Manchester United should still sign a new goalkeeper in January, despite Lammens' promising start. He argues that the team needs to attract the best talent in every position and cites Manchester City's successful signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma as an example.
In the end, it remains to be seen if Manchester United will make a move for Ellborg or stick with Lammens as their main goalkeeper. But one thing is for sure, the team is determined to strengthen their roster and reclaim their status as one of the biggest clubs in the world.
