‘He’s far better’… £24m Arsenal player now encouraged to join Manchester United in January

Mark Schwarzer has said that Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale should join Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United in the January transfer window.

The former Chelsea goalkeeper has also given his verdict on whether or not United manager Ten Hag will try to sign Ramsdale from Arsenal.

So, what has been said about Arsenal, Manchester United and Aaron Ramsdale? Let’s take a look.

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale urged to join Manchester United

Well, Mark Schwarzer has been speaking about the future of Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, and he has suggested Manchester United as a potential destination for the £24 million () star.

The former Chelsea goalkeeper has given his take on why a move to United would benefit both Ramsdale and the Red Devils.

The pundit believes that the England international goalkeeper is better than Andre Onana, but he does not think that United manager Erik ten Hag will make a move for the 25-year-old in the middle of the season.

Schwarzer told : “But if he didn’t go to Chelsea, where else is there for Ramsdale? There’s Manchester United, which I think would also be an excellent destination for him.

“He’s far better than Andre Onana in my opinion but probably not in Erik ten Hag’s opinion, as he will most likely stick with his summer signing given how much he’s backed him through his early struggles at Old Trafford so far.

“Manchester United could definitely do with Ramsdale but I think their priorities lie elsewhere.”

My View: Aaron Ramsdale will not join Manchester United in January

In my opinion, Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale will not join Manchester United in the January transfer window.

I do not see the 25-year-old making the move to Old Trafford at all in the middle of the season. There is also speculation that Arsenal will not sell Ramsdale.

Erik ten Hag has despite his mistakes, and it was the Dutchman who signed the goalkeeper for United in the summer of 2023 in the first place.

Ramsdale is the second-choice goalkeeper for Arsenal at the moment, and I do not think that he will fancy going from playing second fiddle to David Raya to being a back-up to Onana at United.
