Onana's replacement: Man Utd reportedly linked with moves for Parma goalkeeper

Manchester United appeared to be planning to bring in a new goalkeeper as a replacement for Cameroon international Andre Onana.

Recent reports claimed the Red Devils have entered the race to sign Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.

This is not the first time the Red Devils would be linked with moves for Suzuki, they were believed to be in talks over signing the American-born Japan international two years ago, but talks fell through after he expressed his desire to play first-team football.

Suzuki went on to leave Urawa Red Diamonds to join Sint-Truiden on loan where he had a breakout campaign in the Belgian Pro League last season.

This saw Parma signing the Japanese goal stopper from Sint-Truiden for €7.5m (£6.3m), immediately after the Belgian club triggered a loan-to-buy obligation for a fraction of the price.

Following his arrival in the Italian league, Suzuki made the number one spot his own at the Stadio Ennio Tardini, hoping to emulate the sort of career that former Parma star Gianluigi Buffon enjoyed.

So far this season, the young goalie has started in all but one of Parma's Serie A matches this season, missing the defeat to Udinese through suspension.

A report via talkSport claim that the Red Devils want to sign Suzuki, but could be faced with a price tag of around £40m.
