It has been stated that the Red Devils are showing interest in recruiting the Brazilian goalie this summer.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Victor\u2019s Impressive Form In Brazilian Football<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Victor has enjoyed a solid career at the Brazilian club after he put in a lot of impressive displays for them over the past couple of years. The 29-year-old has conceded 66 goals and earned 32 clean sheets in 79 matches for his current employers last season across various competitions.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian sensation has proven his worth as a solid goalkeeper in the Brazilian Serie A. He was even tidy when distributing possession from the back after making 80.8% of his attempted passes in the top tier of Brazilian football (stats via <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/33a235af\/John\">fbref.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>His current contract at Botafogo will expire at the end of 2028. Thus, it won\u2019t be easy for Man United to snap him up on a cut-price deal this off-season.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_326650\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-326650\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/botafogo-v-sao-paulo-brasileirao-2025-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Manchester United\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\"  ><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-326650\">RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL \u2013 APRIL 16: Goalkeeper John Victor of Botafogo in action during the match between Botafogo and Sao Paulo as part of Brasileirao 2025 at Estadio Ol\u00edmpico Nilton Santos on April 16, 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

He is a solid handler of the ball and can use his quick reflexes to make some important saves at the back for his team.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian talent is a good distributor of the ball as well. Standing at 1.97m, he is a strong presence in the air as well and doesn\u2019t hesitate to come out to collect crosses and loose balls inside his penalty area.<\/p>\n<p>We can expect Victor to bring more quality to <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/manchester-united\/\">Man United<\/a> head coach Ruben Amorim\u2019s backline. He has what it takes to compete with Andre Onana for a regular starting place at the <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/\">Premier League<\/a> club in the coming seasons. The Brazilian would also be an upgrade over Altay Bayindir, who struggled to impress with his performances for the Red Devils last season.<\/p>\n<p>At 29, Victor is playing in his prime which makes him a decent option for <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/2022\/10\/casemiro-net-worth-2\/\">Man United<\/a> to pursue in this transfer window. Therefore, the Mancunian giants should focus on trying everything they can to get him on board this summer.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent report, UOL mentioned that Manchester United are keeping a keen eye on Botafogo keeper John Victor.
