Manchester United goalkeeper set to be released by club

Manchester United are bracing for a summer shake-up in their goalkeeping ranks, and one of the first casualties is expected to be 23-year-old Dermot Mee. According to The Sun, the club is preparing to release the young keeper as part of a wider restructuring of the position.

Mee, who has spent recent seasons training at Carrington and travelling with Erik ten Hag’s senior squad on matchdays, has never made a competitive first-team appearance. Instead, he has served as a support goalkeeper during warm-ups and behind-the-scenes preparations, a role that became more peripheral after the departure of goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital earlier this year.

With United prioritising players who offer a clear pathway to senior minutes, Mee is now deemed surplus to requirements. His exit would allow the club to reassess depth at the position and accelerate the development of academy prospect Radek Vitek, currently on loan in the Championship and viewed as a genuine long-term prospect.

The anticipated release of Mee is only one element of a broader overhaul. Andre Onana, on loan at Trabzonspor, faces an uncertain future after the Turkish side balked at United’s £40 million–£43 million valuation, while Turkish international Altay Bayindir has attracted interest from Besiktas, with a potential swap deal involving Wilfred Ndidi previously mooted.

As internal discussions continue, United could sanction multiple goalkeeper departures this summer, signalling a decisive reset between the posts at Old Trafford.
