Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki 'REJECTED a £5m Manchester United move to prioritise playing time ahead of the Paris Olympics'

Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki has turned down a move to Manchester United, according to a report.

United have already paid out £43m for Andre Onana but with Dean Henderson due to join Nottingham Forest and Luton Town offering an opportunity for 37-year-old Tom Heaton to start regularly, the club have been looking at options to keep competition for places strong.

The Red Devils have been scouting 20-year-old Urawa Red Diamonds stopper Suzuki since 2017 and have made their move, according to Japanese outlet Sponichi.

However, the report states that the move will not happen this summer despite the player being positively 'shaken, by United's interest.
