Andre Onana has endured a tricky couple of seasons at Manchester United at Old Trafford and it appears that Ruben Amorim has finally decided what to do with him ahead of next term
Manchester United are reportedly willing to sanction a loan move for Andre Onana after stumbling into a real issue regarding his future. The Cameroonian international has endured a tricky couple of seasons since his arrival from Inter Milan.
High-profile errors have blighted his performances and put his position as number one in jeopardy. United are open to letting him leave and would apparently prefer a permanent sale.
But Onana’s high wages have made an exit this summer tricky and Red Devils chiefs are now having to get creative to move him on. According to The Sun, United are open to letting Onana leave on loan.
Monaco – who have recently signed ex-United midfielder Paul Pogba – have been linked with a move but have struggled to get a deal over the line. It is said that United are now awaiting approaches and would prefer to send the 29-year-old to Europe as opposed to a Premier League rival.
Speaking earlier this month, Onana appeared to hint that he was also open to an exit. He said: “Will I leave? I don’t know, we’ll see!”

While Onana’s future remains up in the air, United have already launched their search for a new number one. Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez remains their number one target but a deal for the 2022 World Cup winner is expected to be expensive.
Other options include Botafogo’s John Victor, Porto star Diogo Costa and Cruz Azul number one Kevin Mier. Former United stopper Ben Foster believes that Martinez would be the outstanding candidate should Onana be moved on.
He said: “It’s a brutal league, the Premier League, and I kind of think [over] the last two seasons that he [Onana] hasn’t done enough to prove that he is a Manchester United number one.
Should Andre Onana have a future at Man United? Share your thoughts in the comments below
“I think he’s got ability, and like so many other Man United players, he’d go elsewhere and probably flourish. I think that’s probably going to be the case with him as well. If the opportunity does come to sign somebody like Emi Martinez, they’ve got to go for it. He’s still one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
“A lot of people said this season, probably not up to the standard of the previous two years, but still one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
“You’ve got to have a strong spine in any football team. If you get the goalie right, you get a couple of strikers in, Bruno’s going to be staying now. It’s a great start to the transfer window for them.”
