Manchester United Eyeing Andre Onana as Potential Goalkeeping Solution

In their pursuit of bolstering their squad for the upcoming season, Manchester United has reportedly identified Inter Milan’s Andre Onana as a potential target to reinforce their goalkeeping department. The Red Devils’ manager, Erik ten Hag, is keen on securing a reliable shot-stopper for Old Trafford.

With David de Gea’s contract set to expire soon, discussions surrounding his future have been ongoing. Although a new deal has been agreed upon in principle, the Spanish goalkeeper is yet to put pen to paper. De Gea’s performance this season has come under scrutiny due to a number of high-profile errors, leading many to question whether his tenure as Manchester United’s undisputed number one is nearing its end.

According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United has not submitted a formal bid for Andre Onana at this stage. The Premier League club’s decision to make an offer will likely depend on the available budget once De Gea’s situation is resolved.

As reported by The Guardian , Manchester United is firmly in the race to acquire Onana’s services. The Cameroonian goalkeeper features prominently on Erik ten Hag’s wish list, alongside Porto’s promising shot-stopper, Diogo Costa. The Dutch coach, having worked closely with Onana during their time at Ajax, is acutely aware of the goalkeeper’s qualities and believes he perfectly fits the desired playing style at Old Trafford.
