Onana's cryptic response and Man Utd transfer stance as new exit route appears

Andre Onana has spent the last two seasons in goal at Old Trafford since a £44million move from Inter Milan, but it's been something of a rollercoaster ride for the Cameroon stopper, signed at the behest of Erik ten Hag

Monaco have emerged as contenders to sign goalkeeper Andre Onana from Manchester United. Although a change of goalkeeper was not viewed as a priority at United this summer, the club are willing to listen to offers for every one of their players.

Onana, signed from Inter Milan for £47.5million two years ago, endured another unconvincing campaign last season for United, but that has not put the French side off enquiring about him.

Cameroon star Onana, 29, is currently on holiday but gave a cryptic reply when approached by a news crew this week.

When asked if he could leave United this summer, Onana replied: “Will I leave? I don't know, we'll see!”

Monaco keepers Philipp Kohn and Radoslaw Majecki did not entirely convince last season, which has led the club to start looking for a new first-choice keeper this summer.

As well as Onana, Chelsea's Djordje Petrovic has emerged as a target for Monaco, after returning from a loan spell at Strasbourg ,with the Serbia stopper not expected to have a future at Chelsea.

An exit for Onana would see United push for a new No.1 goalkeeper. Aston Villa's Emi Martinez has been linked.

And Amorim is looking for new arrivals to be brought in quickly. Amorim wants his new signings on board for the club's pre-season tour of the USA in four weeks' time. United have been slow to recruit this summer, with £62.5million winger Matheus Cunha from Wolves their only signing so far.

Amorim is impatient for the new signings to be on the plane for United's three-game tour of the States, which sees them face West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton in the Premier League Summer Series.

The United boss sees the tour as the ideal environment in which new signings can fully integrate with the squad, as well as enabling them to adapt to the team's system, so they can hit the ground running when the new season starts.
