It looks like David De Gea’s time at Old Trafford has come to an end. The Spaniard’s contract has expired, the negotiations seem extremely tiresome for both the club and the player and it will all probably lead to parting ways. The Red Devils now have to find a custodian that has the talent to match De Gea’s level which with time could bring that gravity a respectable goalkeeper embellishes his team with.For some time now, the eyes have mostly been on Andre Onana. The Cameroonian’s performances in the shirts of Ajax and Inter Milan prove that he is a great shot stopper, a goalkeeper good with his feet and accurate long passes. There are some instances off the pitch that his employers should keep an eye on but for now, let’s keep it on the grass.🚨Manchester United are also interested in Feyenoord’s 25-year-old Dutch keeper Justin Bijlow as a back-up in case they miss out on Onana. 🇳🇱 🔴 #MUFC 🔴 #Feyenoord pic.twitter.com/qXJl01FqAw— Ekrem KONUR (@Ekremkonur) July 2, 2023 With talent and experience comes a higher price and that is what is holding United back. They have to look for cheaper alternatives and as per Erik ten Hag one is imposing as a great choice – Feyenoord’s Justin Bijlow.Onana’s price tag of 46.5 million euros is an obstacle for the Old Trafford crew – it will soon be official that 60 million euros are leaving United’s account for Mason Mount and given that ten Hag has ‘only’ 120 million euros for reinforcements at his disposal (as a result of Financial Fair Play constraints) – it does not add up to a great transfer window. Hence the Feyenoord goalie entering the mix.As a result of a lack of faith from his manager ten Hag, last season’s Golden Glove winner and one of the last players in the dressing room to have won the Premier League at the club de Gea left huge gloves to fill and the final decision needs to be the right one. The 25-year-old Bijlow, who kept 15 clean sheets last season, is viewed as a cheaper alternative to Inter Milan’s African who has been linked with both United and Chelsea this summer, with both looking to freshen things up in goal.##NAJAVA_MECA_7350573##Keeping all in mind, Bijlow could find himself higher up the list than he may have expected especially because of the financial burden the Red Devils are under.Bijlow is a current senior international with the Netherlands side, and has eight caps to his name, having also made up part of Louis Van Gaal’s 2022 World Cup squad in Qatar, though he failed to make an appearance.
