According to Fichajes, Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim could be leaning at the prospect of keeping hold of underfire keeper Andre Onana. The Cameroonian could be another chance to redeem himself as the Portuguese boss thinks better structure and improved game plan can aid the stopper to perform better.
Manchester United fans will probably not like the idea of Andre Onana in the goal next season, as a majority of them probably want the Cameroonian gone. There have been plenty of criticism directed towards the stopper in another underwhelming season between the sticks, as he’s yet to have the impact many had expected of him when he signed from Inter Milan in a huge deal two years ago.
Many reports had suggested that Manchester United as well as Ruben Amorim sought a change of keeper in the summer. However, many mitigating factors may prove challenging for the club in their quest to find a replacement as well as a suitor for the 29-year-old Manchester United underperformer.
There have been some big names being linked with a move to Manchester United including Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen. There are plenty of challenges in luring the German international as the Catalans will demand a big fee as well as the player, who will seek a top-level wage package.
OGC Nice’s Marcin Bulka is another name on their list, but again, the idea of signing him or anyone else before the sale of Onana will be challenging. The Cameroonian had interest from Saudi Arabia, as there are now doubts whether any move over to the Middle East is a possibility.
Despite reports stating Manchester United were eager to sell Onana, Amorim has other ideas. The Portuguese manager now leans towards keeping hold of the 29-year-old Manchester United underperformer, which may not please the club’s fans ahead of the summer. Onana wanted to fight for his place in the squad and prove many doubters wrong, as he might get that chance afterall.
Amorim believes, that a better structure and gameplan could aid Onana’s cause, as the keeper could be given another chance to redeem himself. The Portuguese boss also feels that Onana is better suited for his system of building from the back, while the complications of selling him, and then buying a replacement as well as other squad needs could make his departure the least of the manager’s concerns at the moment.
