Manchester United goalkeeper set to be released by club

Manchester United are expected to oversee significant changes between the posts this summer as the club evaluates its goalkeeping options ahead of the new season.

There has already been uncertainty surrounding several senior figures in that department.

Andre Onana, currently on loan at Trabzonspor, faces an unclear future.

Recent comments from the Turkish club’s vice president suggest they have no intention of making his move permanent at Manchester United’s reported valuation of around £40m – £43m.

Meanwhile, Altay Bayindir has also been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

The Turkish international has attracted interest from Besiktas in recent months, with even a potential swap deal involving Wilfred Ndidi previously discussed as part of wider transfer negotiations.

With changes expected at senior level, attention is now turning towards the rest of the goalkeeping unit.

According to The Sun, Manchester United could allow multiple goalkeepers to leave the club this summer as part of a wider clear-out, with discussions already planned internally regarding several players’ futures.

While much of the focus has been placed on high-profile names, one lesser-known figure is also facing an uncertain situation.

A young goalkeeper who has primarily operated behind the scenes at Carrington is now expected to depart as part of the club’s restructuring plans.

Dermot Mee is reportedly among those set to be released by Manchester United.

The 23-year-old has been part of the club’s wider goalkeeping group in recent seasons, often travelling with the first team to provide support during matchday preparations and warm-ups.

However, opportunities at senior level have remained limited.

Mee has effectively operated as a training goalkeeper, particularly following changes within the coaching setup after the departure of goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital earlier this year.

With Manchester United continuing to streamline their squad and prioritise players with clear first-team pathways, Mee’s departure would allow the club to reassess its depth in that position.

The club are also expected to look internally for solutions, with academy goalkeeper Radek Vitek – currently gaining experience on loan in the Championship – viewed as a player with genuine long-term potential.

As the summer window approaches, Manchester United’s goalkeeping department appears set for a major overhaul, with both senior and fringe players facing uncertain futures.

The expected exit of Dermot Mee may not grab headlines, but it reflects the broader changes taking place behind the scenes at Old Trafford.
