Manchester United are set to bid for Botafogo goalkeeper John Victor after his standout performances at the Club World Cup.

The 29-year-old impressed for the Brazilian side during their run to the knockout stages of the tournament, before ultimately being eliminated by Palmeiras.

Ruben Amorim is in the market for a new goalkeeper, having grown frustrated with Andre Onana's inconsistent performances last season.

Manchester United could soon make an initial move for the Brazilian, who may be available at a bargain price. However, according to Sport Witness, there is still uncertainty surrounding the goalkeeper's release clause. 

While some reports from Brazil claim a fee as low as £5.8 million could secure his move to Old Trafford, others suggest a significantly higher amount may be required.
