Manchester United’s struggles between the posts have been a recurring theme this season, with Andre Onana’s performances coming under heavy scrutiny.
The Cameroonian was brought in to replace David de Gea and revolutionize United’s build-up play with his ball-playing ability.
However, a series of high-profile errors—both domestically and in Europe—have cast doubts over his long-term future at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim, who has already identified key areas for improvement since taking charge, is reportedly eager to bring in a new goalkeeper to provide stronger competition for Onana.
With Altay Bayindir yet to convince as a reliable alternative, United are actively scouting options ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Wigan Athletic’s Sam Tickle has emerged as a serious target.

The 22-year-old England U21 international has caught the attention of United’s recruitment team with his commanding presence and shot-stopping ability.
Sam Tickle has made 94 senior appearances for Wigan and is regarded as one of the best talents to come through their academy.
United are not alone in their interest, as Arsenal and Everton are also monitoring the young keeper.
However, with Wigan competing in League One, Sam Tickle could be a far more affordable option than Premier League alternatives such as Burnley’s James Trafford or Espanyol’s Joan Garcia.
Sam Tickle, a lifelong United fan, would reportedly welcome a move to Old Trafford.
If a deal is completed, his arrival could further limit Bayindir’s role in the squad, with Amorim seemingly unconvinced by the Turkish international despite his FA Cup heroics earlier in the season.
