Manchester United are reportedly the latest club showing an interest in the potential transfer of highly-rated Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia. The Red Devils are having a difficult season, and it makes sense that a new ‘keeper is now being linked with them after another dreadful performance from Andre Onana.
