Manchester United could turn to Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp as an alternative target to Inter Milan’s Andre Onana.
That is according to The Mirror, who claim that Erik ten Hag now wants to sign two goalkeepers this summer.
One is to replace David De Gea, whose contract has now expired and is seemingly on his way out of Old Trafford.
The second would be to replace Dean Henderson, who is wanted in a permanent move by Nottingham Forest.
That means United are now looking at a number of different goalkeeping options with Inter star Onana thought to be the top target.
A deal isn’t a sure thing though and United need to have other targets in mind.
It’s suggested that Frankfurt star Trapp is now one target for United alongside Feyenoord stopper Justin Bijlow.
The report claims that Trapp would be available for around £10million, which would surely fit into United’s budget this summer.
The 32-year-old may not be a long-term solution for United but he is a proven stopper and has been on the United radar for a while…
Manchester United wanted Kevin Trapp last summer too
Some United fans may remember links with a move to sign Trapp last summer too.
Sport1 reported that United had made an approach to sign Trapp and that Frankfurt were willing to do a deal.
The Athletic backed that up before Sport1 bizarrely added that Sir Alex Ferguson was recommending a move for Trapp.
The German international eventually admitted that there was a ‘written offer’ from United, but he chose to stay with Frankfurt.
Trapp had just won the Europa League with Frankfurt and secured Champions League football, so you can understand an emotional pull to stay with the Bundesliga side.
Trapp may also remember leaving Frankfurt to join Paris Saint-Germain in 2015, a big move which didn’t quite work out.
Maybe Trapp can be tempted to Old Trafford this time around with Ten Hag potentially ready to make another push for his signature.
