Just if... Post: Manchester United might have rented Pickford 2 years ago. If he had him, there would be no Onana.

October 11th Everton goalkeeper Pickford is playing with the England team in the World Cup European Qualifiers. He has already become England's undisputed main goalkeeper. The "Daily Mail" said in a long article analyzing his career: In 2023, Manchester United was once likely to introduce him on loan.

The following is the original text:

Fans may wish to think about it, there was a moment when the possibility of Pickford leaving Everton was on the table. It was the spring of 2023, when Everton was struggling to avoid Premier League relegation and had to consider what would happen if they were indeed relegated.

When the next season is about to end with the European Cup, it is obviously unrealistic for Pickford to play in the English Championship. As a result, there have been discussions, including loaning Pickford to Manchester United, and loaning the Red Devils' cross-town rivals - Manchester City youngster Trafford to Everton.

How will the situation develop if this all goes well? For example, Onana is unlikely to come to Old Trafford. But in fact, Pickford still stood out at the time - in the crucial away draw with Leicester City, he saved a crucial penalty kick to help Everton escape.

Now, Pickford will soon sign a new contract with Everton, and they firmly hope that he will end his career on Merseyside: no matter how much money Everton invests in this contract, you can double the amount to bring in players of comparable strength. He just became so important now.

In the 22-23 season, Everton finally accumulated 36 points, ranking 17th in the Premier League and completing a thrilling escape from relegation; Leicester City, Leeds United and Southampton were relegated.

The 31-year-old Pickford has played 326 games for Everton and contributed 91 clean sheets. His current transfer price in Germany is 18 million euros.
