Although admitting goalkeeping coach Tony Coton has been following the Cameroon international’s progress, Satin feels Sir Alex Ferguson will look elsewhere if he decides to move for another shot-stopper next year. Current first choice Roy Carroll is out of contract in the summer and Tim Howard has fallen from grace after earning a place in the PFA Team of the Year last term.
However, Satin, who is reportedly working on United’s behalf, has echoed Ferguson’s sentiments that there is no drastic need to introduce a new keeper to the squad.
« The idea of Manchester now is to not sign a goalkeeper, » Satin told Sport. « Ferguson has not decided but evidently the market is controlled to be prepared for January or the summer.
« There are two good goalkeepers at the club and we will have to see what happens.
« Kameni is a good keeper and we already knew of him before. They have seen him this season – goalkeeping coach Tony Coton was at Montjuic – but I do not believe that he will be the chosen one.
« Espanyol can relax because the idea would be to bring in someone with more experience than him. »
Satin went on to explain that he feels Kameni’s height could be disadvantage in The Premiership, and that the African could have been signed on a free transfer before heading for Espanyol, making him a less attractive option at his buy-out clause of €6 million.
However, the agent stressed The Red Devils will continue to monitor Kameni’s progress as the season develops.
