Ruben Amorim: Why Manchester United Bosses Are in Panic Mode Over Portuguese Coach
Manchester United executives have been left fearing the worst over coach Ruben Amorim as the team’s poor run of form shows no sign of stopping.
Kelleher has also been linked with Chelsea and West Ham, who are also looking for a new goalkeeper, and Liverpool are expected to demand up to £30 million for him.
Why Are Aston Villa Interested in Kelleher?
According to The Sun, the Ireland goalkeeper is viewed by Villa as an easy target to land as they are also interested in Espanyol’s Joan Garcia who is being tracked by a number of teams in England and Spain.
Kelleher has proved to be a capable backup to Allison and did well when the Brazilian was out injured this season, keeping eight clean sheets for the Premier League champions.

Manchester United Turn Attention to £30m Striker After Agreeing Deal for Matheus Cunha
Manchester United have now trained their sights on a striker from a Premier League rival after agreeing a transfer for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha.
Villa hope they can turn him into a superstar like Martinez, who was backup at Arsenal for many years, before he moved to Villa Park and established himself as one of the world’s best goalkeepers.
What is pushing Kelleher further away from Liverpool is that Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is due to arrive at Anfield in the coming weeks, having signed last summer but remained at Valencia, which could push him down the pecking order.
