Andrre Onana had a disappointing season, but he would still be the No. 1 goalkeeper of Man United in the 2025/26 season. It seemed that this Cameroon goalkeeper would play luggage this summer, but it turned out that MU could not find anyone better than him.
Last month, Manchester Evening News reported that Onana still intended to stay after a disappointing season and would only consider leaving if the club wanted to sell. In addition, Neom SC Club in Saudi Arabia, before buying onana, is now preparing to sign a contract with Nice's goalkeeper Marcin Bulka. So Onana finished escaping.
It is also reported that Monaco seems to have a transfer move with Onana after finishing at third place at Ligue 1 2024/25 and eligible to attend the Champions League, but it seems that they do not have enough money to make an appropriate offer. Monaco has just recruited Paul Pogba after the ban of the game.
The fact that Onana was still assured to prepare for the new season in the squad of coach Ruben Amorim, who was supposed to want to keep the 29 -year -old goalkeeper, made many NHM raise doubts. Onana had an impressive start in the 2024/25 season and was about to become the number one goalkeeper before everything started badly in the winter.
Onana won the Premier League's “Best Loss” award for the Premier League 2024/25 for a double saving against Crystal Palace in September and again before Fenerbahce in October. After that, everything started down for Onana when MU lost 2-0 in December.
The goalkeeper conceded 2 goals from corner penalties, followed by a mistake before Nottingham and another error against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League. Then, the Lyon disaster occurred in April.
Nemanja Matic saw Onana “Statistical as one of the worst goalkeepers in MU's modern history” before the first leg, and Onana made a mistake in both goals. MU won a spectacular victory against Lyon in the second leg at Old Trafford and Onana ran to hug Amorim by the border because Harry Maguire saved him from the guillotine.
Onana has never really convinced MU's entire NHM since he joined Inter Milan. And his performance last season made most fans completely impatient. Those who are still wondering about Onana now have the idea that this goalkeeper is not good enough.
The problem is that other areas of the team need to be strengthened before signing a contract with a new goalkeeper, which means that the turbulent relationship between MU and Onana seems to continue in the 2025/26 season. We don't need to be a astrologer to predict how the next season's season will take place.
He will show a few great performances, but the inevitable mistakes will soon appear. Flaws are probably the most perfect word to describe onana. He is definitely not a reliable goalkeeper and can make embarrassing mistakes at unexpected times in the matches.
MU has allowed David De Gea to leave when the contract expired in the summer of 2023 because of the Mistakes of the Spanish goalkeeper has become too frequent and some mistakes in the form of irreversibly protected, such as the bad penalty in the Europa League 2021 with Villarreal.
Onana made some similar errors, even worse than De Gea. The decision to allow De Gea to leave is still the right decision because MU needs a modern and reliable goalkeeper. But the feeling is that they have chosen the wrong replacement and now in need of a new number 1 goalkeeper.
However, that will have to be put aside. MU is giving priority to other positions in the summer transfer and Onana is still the best goalkeeper in the world of MU. He will be the first choice in 12 months, but the goalkeeper's future will not be sure after that.
