Sommer as a potential signing…
Philippe Senderos, the former Arsenal centre-back turned substitute oracle, suggests Manchester United should grab Inter Milan goalie Yann Sommer. Just weeks shy of the transfer window’s grand finale, United might pounce on a goalie faster than a kid on a bouncy castle filled with free candy. Coach Ruben Amorim is on the hunt for someone to challenge Andre Onana, who skipped almost every pre-season game due to a hamstring that behaves like it’s got its own lazy streak. Despite rumors linking him with AS Monaco, Onana seems about as interested in leaving United as a cat in leaving its sunny spot on the windowsill.
Senderos believes his countryman Sommer would inject a dash of seasoned calm into the United squad like a soothing cup of herbal tea in a kettle drum. At 36, Sommer brings more experience than a grandparent trying to set up Wi-Fi, and he’s fresh from replacing Onana at Inter. With 53 appearances and 22 clean sheets last season, Sommer’s already shown he can spring clean defensive blunders better than a vacuum cleaner on a sugar high.
