Man United to battle top four rivals for 23-year-old Serie A sensation

Manchester United are eyeing up a move for Zion Suzuki from Parma.

The 23-year-old Japanese goalkeeper is a target for Aston Villa as well. According to SportsBoom, the keeper could command a premium this summer due to his contract length. He is under contract with Parma until 2029.

Man United could use Zion Suzuki

Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir will depart Manchester United in the summer, and the club needs to replace them. Suzuki could be the ideal alternative, and he could compete with Senne Lammens for the starting spot. The Belgian has been outstanding for Manchester United since joining the club, but he needs more competition. Suzuki could be a solid long-term addition. The two young keepers could push each other for the starting spot and help Manchester United improve as a team.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can agree on a reasonable deal for him.
