Premier League shocker: Man Utd sets its sights on Dortmund’s Kobel as a potential replacement for De Gea!

In a bewildering turn of events, it seems that Manchester United are considering the possibility of signing Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to fill the potentially vacant spot left by David De Gea at Old Trafford, according to reports by ‘The Independent’. De Gea’s future in Manchester is shrouded in uncertainty, with his current contract set to expire in mid-2023 and negotiations to renew it apparently at an impasse. Meanwhile, Ajax coach Erik ten Hag has made a plea for De Gea to remain with the club, despite his less than stellar recent performances. The Spanish goalkeeper, however, has yet to make a decisive move one way or the other, prompting Man United to go searching for a replacement. But the plot thickens, as it seems that even if De Gea does decide to stay, the Red Devils are still keen on bringing Kobel on board. The 25-year-old Swiss has been in fine form this season, having only conceded 35 goals in 33 matches across all competitions.
