According to a report from the BBC, Manchester United are close to completing the signing of Southend United goalkeeper Nathan Bishop – with manager Sol Campbell confirming that he was left out of the squad to face Doncaster Rovers due to the fact he was having a medical at an unnamed club – but these Red Devils supporters are everything but excited over the news.
Bishop, who hasn’t kept a single clean sheet this season for relegation-threatened Southend, conceding 37 goals in 12 League One starts for the club as part of a leaky backline (Transfermarkt), is reportedly on the verge of joining the Red Devils after having a medical – with Bishop potentially being the reserve keeper at Carrington on Tuesday rather than Genk midfielder Sander Berge.
The 20-year-old also played regularly for the Seasiders last season, keeping three clean sheets in 18 starts, with the Red Devils debatably signing the youngster as a reserve back up.
As a result, United supporters are sceptical over the need to sign Bishop, displaying confusion over his imminent arrival – find their best comments from Twitter down below.
Probably the only position where we are stacked, seems unnecessary

Pointless signing

We are going to be overpopulated with goalkeepers at this rate
