# Manchester United: Red Devils still eyeing Bono move

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) are still eyeing a move for Sevilla goalkeeper Bono this year.**

### The Lowdown: Forward rumours

[Erik ten Hag](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/erik-ten-hag/)’s January priority appears to be on bringing in a new forward following Cristiano Ronaldo’s second Old Trafford exit.

Anthony Martial is the club’s [only](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-united/kader/verein/985) senior centre-forward available to Ten Hag, with United linked with the likes of Marcus Thuram, Joao Felix and Randal Kolo Muani.

However, it seems as if the Glazers are also looking at bolstering the club’s goalkeeping ranks, with United [already contacting](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/calcio-estero/bayern-caccia-al-sostituto-di-neuer-duello-con-il-manchester-united-per-bounou-1773546) Sevilla, asking for information on Bono.

### The Latest: Bono update

[Sports Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/manchester-united-open-door-wider-player-move-never-seemd-close-fruition/) relayed an update from [Estadio Deportivo,](https://www.estadiodeportivo.com/futbol/sevilla-fc/manchester-united-abre-mas-puerta-bono-20230102-410561.html) regarding Bono and Manchester United.

They claimed that a deal has rarely seemed ‘so close to fruition’, with Old Trafford officials expected to explore the goalkeeping market in 2023 due to David de Gea’s contract situation.

The report adds that United are likely to look at a summer swoop with Sevilla open to a potential sale.

### The Verdict: Wise move

United are also short on goalkeepers after Martin Dúbravka was recalled by Newcastle from a season-long loan. De Gea and Tom Heaton are the [only](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-united/kader/verein/985) senior options, with the pair both out of [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-united/kader/verein/985) at the end of June.

Therefore, looking at someone like Bono, hailed for his ‘[monster](https://twitter.com/SoccerByIves/status/1295104984854532096)‘ saves by CBS Sports broadcaster Ives Galarcep in a Europa League performance against Manchester United and called[‘excellent’](https://twitter.com/TANG_Foot/status/1309231214650437635) by reporter Tanguy Le Seviller, seems to be a smart decision.

The [left-footed](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bono/profil/spieler/207834) shot-stopper also recently helped his country to the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar, and it looks as if a move will be one to watch.
