Andre Onana's future with Manchester United is, in serious doubt, after a difficult few seasons in Old Trafford with the club's call on a sale that says it all on his status in the club
Manchester United would be willing to take a £ 20 million hit on Andre Onana to facilitate a move. The Cameroonian keeper sees his future in the air after a difficult few campaigns at Old Trafford.
He has been destroyed by inconsistency since his relocation of £ 50 million from Italian Giants Inter Milan. And it seems that United will not be able to get close to that reimbursement if they choose to go up permanently.
Red Devil's Chiefs would be willing to sell him for around £ 30 million in an attempt to get him from the wage account. And although that is a considerable loss for the club, there remains a big problem.
Monaco and Saudi clubs have shown preliminary interest, but neither would be able to match the requirements of United. From the position of Onana he is not in a hurry to leave the club.
He is determined to stay and fight for his place in the team, while proving that he remains able to be the number one of the club. That is despite the fact that he would be open before departure last month. He said, “Shall I leave? I don't know, we'll see!”
If it remains Onana, it could see that their hope for signing a new keeper would take an important hit. They already identified potential options, including Emi Martinez from Aston Villa.
Earlier this summer the winner of the World Cup 2022 said: “My future? I don't know, I come here to play for the national team, and that is the only thing that counts for me now.
“Do I want to move to a new club? The transfer window has just opened, so there is still a long way to go.”

In the meantime, Botafogo star John Victor has also been associated with a switch to Old Trafford, with reports that suggest that United has submitted a first application for his services. The Brazilian has a release clause of £ 5.8 million in his contract with his current club.
Onana, 29, has left for three years on his contract with Old Trafford, which is suggested that United was also prepared to allow him to leave loan. Since his arrival from Italy, Onana has made 101 performances for the club.
Away from a decision about their keeper, United has already started returning for training for the season. They are ready to prepare with a collision against Leeds in Sweden later this month before they fly to the US to participate in the Premier League Summer Series.
