Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, is looking to strengthen his team's goalkeeper position. He has expressed frustration with the inconsistent performances of his current goalkeeper, Andre Onana, last season. To address this issue, Manchester United may make an initial approach to sign John.

However, there is some uncertainty surrounding John's release clause. According to reports, the fee required to secure John's move to Manchester United could vary significantly. Some sources claim that a relatively low fee of around £5.8 million ($8m) could be enough, while others suggest a higher amount may be necessary.

Manchester United will need to clarify the situation surrounding John's release clause before making a formal bid. The team is expected to make a decision soon, taking into account the potential cost and John's value as a player.
