The club have been linked with several options across Europe, particularly younger, experienced backups capable of challenging or deputising when needed.
One name previously on United’s radar has now officially taken a very different path — and it’s a door that’s now closed for good.

The 25-year-old Poland international had reportedly attracted interest from several English clubs — including Manchester United — as he entered the final year of his contract at OGC Nice.
Despite Nice’s attempts to extend his deal, Marcin Bulka rejected renewal offers, prompting the Ligue 1 club to cash in this summer to avoid losing him on a free next year.
Bulka’s desire to move on had been well known, with the goalkeeper said to be eyeing a return to the Premier League, having previously been on the books at Chelsea earlier in his career.
