Man United's Goalkeeper Hunt: Pope and Donnarumma in Focus Amid Transfer Frenzy
Manchester United is eyeing Newcastle's Nick Pope and PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma as potential goalkeeping reinforcements in a summer filled with transfer activity.

Manchester United's Goalkeeper Dilemma
Manchester United is reportedly in the market for a new goalkeeper, with Nick Pope of Newcastle United and Gianluigi Donnarumma of Paris Saint-Germain emerging as top targets. The Red Devils are looking to bolster their squad ahead of the new season, and the goalkeeping position has become a priority.
Nick Pope: A Short-Term Solution?
Newcastle's Nick Pope, 33, is seen as a short-term option for Manchester United. According to TalkSPORT, Pope could be surplus to requirements at Newcastle as the club is set to bring in Aaron Ramsdale from Southampton. Pope's experience in the Premier League makes him an attractive option, but his age suggests he may not be a long-term solution.
Gianluigi Donnarumma: The Long-Term Option
On the other hand, Gianluigi Donnarumma, 26, is viewed as a more permanent solution. The Sun reports that Donnarumma would cost around €60 million, despite his contract with PSG expiring in 2026. The Italian goalkeeper has attracted interest from several top European clubs, making his acquisition a competitive affair.
