Andre Onana Fuels Man Utd Exit Rumours After Turning Up at Carrington With His Agent
- Andre Onana could leave Manchester United at the end of the season after two years
- Ruben Amorim dropped Onana from the squad for the 4-1 loss to Newcastle after his blunders vs Lyon
- The Cameroonian goalkeeper reported to the club's training facilities at Carrington today with his agent
Andre Onana has fuelled speculation that he could leave Manchester United this summer after reporting to the club's training facilities at Carrington with his agent.
United boss Ruben Amorim dropped Onana from the weekend’s 4-1 loss to Newcastle United in the Premier League after two errors leading to goals against Olympique Lyon.

Amorim explained that Onana was dropped to allow him disconnect after a recent off-field problem, but there were speculations that the manager is fed up with his antics.
His replacement, Altay Bayındır, did not have a good audition, conceding four goals in a damaging defeat, and it is unclear who will be in goal for the second leg against Lyon on Thursday.
Onana spotted with his agent
As reported by Sun Sport, Andre Onana arrived Carrington with Jordi Pascual, further fuelling speculations that his future at the club is in doubt.
Also David Ornstein, leaving Old Trafford was not in Onana’s plan when he switched agents recently, as he was trying to get an improved contract, but a departure is now a possibility.
However, unless a big offer arrives that betters the £47.2 million Manchester United paid for him in 2023, it will be a loss for the club.
Fabrizio provides update on Onana
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, United won the transfer battle over Saudi Pro League clubs to sign Onana from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023.
The Saudi clubs retain their interest and could take advantage of his current situation if the goalkeeper is willing to move, but nothing has yet to be decided.

The Red Devils will demand a fee of at least £50 million to sell the goalkeeper and ensure they do not fall short of the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules, which could prove costly.
How Onana compares to De Gea
Erik ten Hag pulled a stunt on David de Gea by withdrawing his proposed contract renewal and subtly forcing the goalkeeper out of the club after 12 successful years.
Onana came in as his replacement, and as noted by an analysis by The Athletic, he has fared worse than the Spanish goalkeeper after two-and-a-half years.
The African has conceded goals on average of 1.4 per game compared to his predecessor’s 1.1, while he has kept clean sheets in 26% of his games compared to De Gea’s 35%.
Nemanja Matic aims jibe at Onana
Legit.ng reported that Nemanja Matic aimed a jibe at Onana after calling him the worst goalkeeper in Manchester United's history ahead of their Europa League tie against Lyon.
The African goalkeeper responded with a social media post but proved the Serbian midfielder right after committing two errors in the 2-2 draw against the French club.
