Manchester United would have made an offer for Botfogo Goalkeeper John Victor, with the Red Devils reacting to the news that Andre Onan is faced with a period on the sidelines.
Onana has has undergone an injury to the hamstrings This will keep him away for six and eight weeks, which means that the international Cameroon should miss the start of the 2025-26 campaign.
There has been speculation surrounding the future of Victor recently, and according to AIMMan United has now made an offer for the 29 -year -old player, with a visit to Old Trafford apparently on the cards.
The Victor’s liberation clause is 6 million pounds sterling, but it is not clear if the English champions 20 times have activated the buyout costs or have presented a different offer for the Brazilian.
Victor became a professional with Santos in 2016, with 28 times for the club before moving to Botafogo, and he represented his current team 80 times, keeping 33 clean sheets in the process.
Man United “making an offer” for the goalkeeper of Botafogo Victor
The goalkeeper impressed Botafogo at the club World Cup, making four appearances in the competition, and it is understood that he is on the radar of a certain number of major clubs.
Man United also continues to be linked to Aston VillaEmiliano Martinez, but an agreement for the Argentinian international is complicated due to the figures involved.
A firm decision on the future of Onana has not yet been made; Cameroonian continues to be linked to an exit, but it is far from certain that it will leave before the end of the transfer window.
Altay Bayindir is likely to start between the sticks against Leeds United in the club’s pre-season friend on July 19, with Tom Heaton also expected to receive minutes in this competition.

Would Victor be the number one from Man United?
It is not impossible to imagine Victor defying Onana for the gloves next season, with Bayindir who should leave if Onana remains.
Head coach Ruben Amorim wants real competition between the sticks, but Victor would be a bit like a risk because of his lack of experience in European football.
At 6 million pounds sterling, it is a risk to take into account Victor’s performance at the Club World Cup, and his arrival will open the door to a goalkeeper, but it would not necessarily be Onana, who wants to stay in Old Trafford and prove himself despite the difficulties for the Red Devils in the last two seasons.
