Report: Man Utd want Lookman’s Atalanta teammate to solve problem position

Manchester United have reportedly initiated contact regarding a potential move for Atalanta BC goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.

Uncertainty surrounds Andre Onana's future at Old Trafford, partly due to a series of high-profile errors since his arrival in 2023. 

Manager Ruben Amorim appears open to offloading the former Inter Milan shot-stopper and acquiring a new first-choice goalkeeper for the upcoming season, with Monaco reportedly interested in the Cameroon international.

In addition to Carnesecchi, Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez has emerged as another contender to replace Onana, with the World Cup winner reportedly keen on joining the Red Devils. 

While the Red Devils have made initial contacts with Carnesecchi's agent, they are yet to open negotiations with Atalanta. 

The Serie A club are reportedly reluctant to sell their No. 1 goalkeeper, who is under contract until 2028, and could demand a substantial fee. 

Carnesecchi, 24, has established himself at Atalanta, keeping 28 clean sheets in 76 appearances, and recently received an international call-up for Italy.

Man Utd, who have no European exertions next season, return to pre-season next month, aiming to navigate playing just Premier League football with minimal fuss
