<p>Per <a href="https://sportwitness.co.uk/back-on-agenda-manchester-united-scout-impressed-and-bargain-signing-under-consideration/" target="_blank">Goal Brasil</a>, United are interested in signing John from Botafogo despite the Brazilian club's exit from the Club World Cup. The club came through a tough group that also featured PSG and Atletico Madrid, with John keeping a clean sheet against the Champions League holders as his side recorded a famous 1-0 win. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Now, per the report, United are considering a move to sign the 29-year-old who has previously been voted the best goalkeeper in Brazil. However, any deal to sign him would hinge on Andre Onana's future. United have been linked with a move for John mainly because of his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-club-world-cup-goalkeeper-andre-onana-bargain-release-clause-revealed/bltff05bd07ffab9625#cs563de919ca01b24a" target="_blank">release clause of £5.8 million ($8m)</a>, and now, the club are said to have earmarked him as a potential target to pursue if their current stopper does move on.</p><p></p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" class="logo" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every FIFA Club World Cup game free on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/destination:https://www.dazn.com/welcome/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>While United's interest is understood to be long-standing, the report makes it clear that Botafogo intend to put up a fight to keep their No.1. He is seen as a 'fundamental' part of the playing squad, but it is unclear if the Brazilian side will have any recourse to reject a bid that meets his release clause.</p>
