£47.2m mistake-prone player to stay at Manchester United despite rumours

With the goalkeeping department as one of the areas, it was only a matter of time before rumours surrounded Onana. Onana joined United from Inter Milan for  £47.2m in the summer of 2023 to replace the legendary David De Gea.

We All Follow United covered that AS Monaco have provided United with an opportunity to part ways with the 29-year-old. According to Daily Mail reporter Salt (via X), Onana will stay at United despite the recurring rumours about his departure.

The Cameroonian international has made many high-profile errors since joining the club under Ten Hag, immediately drawing unwanted attention. The goalkeeping position at United comes with a unique pressure as the club has had many legendary players in that position.

From Peter Schmeichel to Edwin van der Sar, these goalkeepers dominated at Old Trafford for years and created a pattern. The stability built from defence helped in building the foundation of the club to achieve great successes.

That stability remained intact under De Gea, despite the club’s struggle after Sir Alex Ferguson retired as the manager. However, the reliability is lacking under Onana, and the next season is his last chance to prove himself at United.
