AC Milan are reportedly plotting a move to bring Andre Onana back to Serie A, as the Manchester United goalkeeper’s future remains uncertain. The 28-year-old has faced criticism for his performances at Old Trafford, and with Milan looking beyond Mike Maignan, a return to Italy could be on the cards.
Onana’s Future at Manchester United in Doubt?
According to Spazio Milan, the Rossoneri have identified Onana as a prime target ahead of the summer transfer window. While United splashed out to sign the Cameroonian last year, questions persist over his long-term suitability. Onana has showcased his ball-playing skills, but inconsistency between the sticks has led to doubts about his future.
Manchester United, now under the management of Rúben Amorim, are reportedly open to a sale if the right offer comes in. Amorim is keen to sign a goalkeeper who better fits his philosophy, with Real Madrid’s Andriy Lunin and Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens among the options being explored. Meanwhile, AC Milan might only be able to afford Onana if they decide to cash in on Maignan, who is on the radar of several top European clubs.
Milan’s Transfer Overhaul Underway
After an underwhelming campaign, AC Milan are shaking things up behind the scenes, with Fabio Paratici expected to take charge as sporting director. If Milan do part ways with Maignan, Onana could be the ideal replacement, given his familiarity with Serie A from his brief but successful spell at Inter Milan before moving to Manchester United.
My Opinion
This transfer makes sense for all parties involved. Onana’s struggles at United have been well-documented, and with Amorim likely to implement a new tactical approach, cashing in on the Cameroonian might be the best move. Meanwhile, Milan would be getting a goalkeeper well-suited to their build-up play, especially if they lose Maignan. However, United must be careful—selling Onana without securing a proper replacement could create a bigger headache than they already have in goal.
