Man United consider move for £20m-rated Liverpool transfer target as Possible Replacement for Ten Hag favourite -Report

In an attempt to find a replacement for Andre Onana, Manchester United are Reportedly contemplating a possible trade for Anthony Patterson, the goalkeeper for Sunderland.

Since joining Manchester United from Inter Milan little over a year ago, Onana has not shown much promise, so it may make sense that the team has realized he needs more competition.

The Red Devils are reportedly considering Patterson for that position; the 24-year-old is said to be firmly in their sights.

Liverpool is also cited as a potential bidder for the £20 million-rated shot-stopper. Although Patterson appears to have some potential, some United supporters may not be completely convinced that he possesses the talent necessary to be a
number 1.

Patterson transfer: What would this mean for Onana at Man United?
Onana played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax and looked a fine talent, while he also continued to shine when he made the move to Inter later on.

However, it’s just not happened for the Cameroon international at Old Trafford, so this Patterson story, whether it actually materialises or not, perhaps suggests there are now serious doubts about continuing with their current first-choice ‘keeper.

It might be that Onana can still turn things around, but he might benefit from more competition to keep him on his toes, while Ten Hag would also perhaps understandably like the option of rotating his goalkeepers more.

Liverpool might also be a tempting option for Patterson, however, so it will be interesting to see how that saga pans out as well, with Alisson very much the clear first choice at Anfield at the moment, while Caoimhin Kelleher is a very capable backup, though he’s perhaps someone who’ll want to move on soon to play more regularly, which could leave a space for Patterson.
