Rossoneri eye surprise move for error-prone goalkeeper as pressure mounts on Amorim’s underwhelming Red Devils
AC Milan are reportedly preparing an unexpected lifeline for Manchester United, offering an escape route for under-fire goalkeeper Andre Onana this summer. The Cameroonian shot-stopper has become a lightning rod for criticism during United’s dismal season, with new boss Ruben Amorim allegedly ready to cut ties after just one turbulent campaign at Old Trafford.
A Goalkeeper in Crisis
Since arriving from Inter Milan last summer for £47m, Onana’s United career has been marred by high-profile errors and shaky performances. Spanish outlet Fichajes reports the 28-year-old’s future is now in serious doubt, with Amorim’s staff “considering other options” after a string of unconvincing displays. The situation has alerted Milan, who see an opportunity to bring the keeper back to Serie A – albeit with the red half of the city rather than his former blue.
The Maignan Factor
Milan’s interest hinges on the potential departure of their own star goalkeeper Mike Maignan. Should the French international leave, the Rossoneri could use those funds to pursue Onana – though they may face competition from other clubs. United legend Jaap Stam believes fresh competition is essential, telling BettingExpert: “Onana looks insecure now… At Ajax he needed time with the U23s before being ready. Great reactions, but his decision-making must improve.”
Amorim’s Growing Problems
The goalkeeper dilemma compounds a nightmare start for Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag in October but has overseen even worse results. United’s 13th-place standing highlights the scale of the rebuild needed, with Onana’s struggles symbolic of a squad failing to adapt to new tactics. While Milan frame their approach as doing United “a favor,” the Red Devils may need to absorb another financial hit on a player they signed just 12 months ago.
For Onana, a return to Italy could represent a chance to reboot his career. For United, it’s another expensive lesson in their chaotic recruitment strategy. One thing is certain – the summer shakeup at Old Trafford is only just beginning.
