Recent reports indicate that AS Monaco are interested in signing Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana. The Ligue 1 club is exploring the conditions of a potential deal for the 29-year-old Cameroonian international, who joined Manchester United from Inter Milan in July 2023 for a reported £47.3 million. Monaco's interest stems from their desire to reinforce their goalkeeping department, as their current options, Philipp Kohn and Radoslaw Majecki, have not fully convinced the club. Monaco, managed by former Borussia Monchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt boss Adi Hutter, finished third in Ligue 1 last season and will be playing Champions League football, making them an attractive prospect for players.
However, despite Monaco's interest, André Onana seems inclined to stay at Manchester United. While Onana gave a cryptic response when asked about his future, saying "Will I leave? I don't know, we'll see!", reports suggest he is determined to prove his worth at Old Trafford. He has made 101 appearances in all competitions across his two seasons with the Red Devils.
Manchester United are supposedly open to selling any player this summer, but reports suggest that manager Ruben Amorim values Onana and has a good working relationship with him. This suggests that Onana will be given another chance to prove himself. Despite a challenging first season marked by high-profile errors, Onana remains focused on improving his performances and solidifying his position as the club's first-choice goalkeeper.
Manchester United are also considering alternatives for the goalkeeping position. Aston Villa's Emi Martinez has been linked with a move to United, and the club has reportedly made initial contact with Atalanta's Marco Carnesecchi. However, these moves would likely depend on Onana's departure, which, as it stands, seems unlikely.
Ultimately, while Monaco's interest presents a potential escape route for Onana, the goalkeeper's own preference appears to be staying at Manchester United and fighting for his place. Whether Manchester United receive a suitable offer for Onana that changes the dynamic remains to be seen, but for now, Onana is expected to stay at Old Trafford.
