Andriy Lunin has been linked with a move to Man Utd.
According to reports, Man Utd have assured Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin that he will be the starting goalkeeper at Old Trafford if he joins in the summer.
Following the completion of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s acquisition of 27.7% of the Premier League team earlier this year, the Red Devils are expected to undergo significant changes over the summer.
As part of the agreement, Ratcliffe and INEOS have taken over the football department, and they plan to make changes to the recruitment team and the club’s infrastructure.
Jason Wilcox, the club’s technical director, and Omar Berrada, who will take over as CEO in the summer, have already been hired.
Additionally, INEOS plans to sell on some players who are surplus to requirements in order to raise money for new players, so there should be a significant player turnover in the summer.
According to one report, they’re even open to offers for any player in Erik ten Hag’s roster besides Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund, and Kobbie Mainoo.

In his pre-match press conference on Friday, Ten Hag dismissed the reports with a laugh, stating, “It’s a joke.” For as long as I’ve been employed, Manchester United has expressed interest in 200 players every summer and window.
We conducted some research and sold every player in our squad every summer. When you make headlines, you have to take responsibility for how those headlines are created. In case there is any truth to it, locate a reliable source.
Andre Onana has become better for Manchester United this season, even though he made a mistake in their most recent 4-2 victory over Sheffield United. His worst performance came in the Champions League.
Lunin of Real Madrid was mentioned as one of the goalkeepers the Red Devils were considering earlier in the season, according to reports.

Furthermore, Man Utd and the Ukraine international, who is a “priority target” for the summer, “already have a closed agreement,” according to Spanish publication Nacional.
Following some strong performances in Thibaut Courtois’ absence, there have been many rumors that Lunin is about to sign a new contract with Real Madrid. However, Nacional maintains that Florentino Perez’s “attempts have been fruitless” thus far.
Real Madrid “will be forced to sell him this summer, if they do not want to see him pack his bags in 12 months,” the report continues, if they “do not reach an agreement for him to sign a new contract.”
And now Ten Hag, who appears set to stay at Old Trafford despite rumors he could be fired, “guarantees” Lunin “that he will be untouchable.” Man Utd “are the big favorites to welcome the Ukrainian international into their ranks.”
It is understood that Lunin “seems to have decided that he will leave Madrid, because they are unable to guarantee him the regular starting position that he requests.”
