Overview

• United began their Premier League campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal after Altay Bayindir’s error underscored concerns over their goalkeeping options.
• Multiple outlets report that Manchester United have made informal enquiries into David de Gea’s potential short-term return to Old Trafford.
• Some sources claim de Gea’s Fiorentina deal includes a low release clause that could facilitate a move.
• Other reports counter that the former United keeper recently signed an extension in Italy running until 2028.
• United are also linked with alternative targets such as Gianluigi Donnarumma, Emiliano Martínez and Bart Verbruggen as they balance immediate needs with summer spending limits.
