Report: Man United eyeing move for World Cup star with £5.2m release clause

Manchester United’s search for goalkeeper depth has reportedly turned to Paraguay international Orlando Gill after his standout 2026 World Cup. Covered by the Manchester Evening News, the 26-year-old impressed for Paraguay and produced Player of the Match performances against Germany and France in the knockout rounds, including key penalty shootout saves that helped trigger major upsets. United are understood to be assessing the market this summer, with competition expected around Senne Lammens. San Lorenzo’s situation could make a move more feasible: reports in Argentina suggest the club’s debts are approaching £50m. The reported release clause is about £5.2m, a relatively modest figure for Premier League recruitment. Gill also addressed transfer talk, saying there is interest but no formal offer, and that any deal would depend on respecting his contract clause and an agreement between both clubs.
