Ruben Amorim is in the market for a new goalkeeper, having grown frustrated with Andre Onana's inconsistent performances last season.

Manchester United could soon make an initial move for the Brazilian, who may be available at a bargain price.However, according to Sport Witness, there is still uncertainty surrounding the goalkeeper's release clause.
