Manchester United Eyeing Bundesliga Star to Potentially Replace Onana
According to reports, Manchester United are making Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel a top priority for a potential summer transfer. The Red Devils are looking to potentially replace current keeper Andre Onana, who has struggled with consistency since joining the club.
United will likely face competition from Chelsea for Kobel’s signature, as the London club also aims to upgrade their goalkeeper position. The 27-year-old Swiss international has impressed at Dortmund, earning praise as a “world-class” talent.
While Onana showed some initial promise after arriving at Old Trafford, recent performances have highlighted ongoing issues between the posts for United. Kobel could provide an upgrade with his strong passing ability and shot-stopping skills.
Stats show Kobel has a superior pass completion rate of 82.1% compared to Onana’s 74.6% in league play this season. However, Onana edges Kobel slightly in save percentage.
Dortmund will likely be reluctant to part with their star keeper, who they view as one of Europe’s top talents at the position. But United appear ready to make a strong push to bring Kobel to Manchester as they look to solidify their goalkeeping situation for the future.
