Solomon Honor: Manchester United considering major U-turn on goalkeeper

Manchester United is reportedly contemplating a major change of heart regarding goalkeeper Solomon Honor. The club sanctioned a loan exit for the young talent during the summer transfer window, sending him to play for Southport. Honor only joined United in February, having come from Blackburn Rovers and played for Manchester City beforehand. His time at United thus far has been confined to the Under-21s, with limited first-team action.

It was already known that Honor would alternate between United and Southport during his season-long loan. United and Southport had agreed to this arrangement. Therefore, it came as no surprise to learn that Honor was seen training at Carrington in the buildup to a Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.

According to the Manchester Evening News, United are considering recalling Honor in January. The newspaper reports that United initially agreed to loan Honor to aid his development. Moving to Southport, located an hour's drive away, also allowed him to return to training at Carrington when necessary. However, the situation changed unexpectedly in September when Southport signed another young goalkeeper, Douglass Lukjanciks, on loan from Everton.

The arrival of Lukjanciks led to Honor being moved to the bench at Southport, as the club sought to accommodate the new signing. United has decided not to cancel Honor's registration, as he cannot join another team before January. The club seems content to let the situation resolve itself, hoping that a change in circumstances will occur. If that doesn't happen, Honor is likely to return to United permanently or be loaned out to another club.

In the meantime, Michael Carrick and his team members are eagerly anticipating their next match against Leeds United at Elland Road, hoping to secure a victory.
