Onana’s struggles spark calls for change at Old Trafford
Since his arrival from Inter Milan in 2023, Andre Onana has had a turbulent time as Manchester United's first-choice goalkeeper.
While initially backed by Erik ten Hag and the club’s decision-makers, Onana’s inconsistent shot-stopping has made him a target of criticism.
With just eight clean sheets in 30 Premier League appearances this season, many fans feel the Cameroonian has failed to live up to expectations.
The club’s position in the league has further intensified scrutiny across several departments, and the goalkeeping role has come under particular focus.
Patience appears to be wearing thin, and with Manchester United struggling to solidify a top-four finish, the search for a more reliable option is reportedly underway.
De Gea’s resurgence in Italy reignites hopes of return
De Gea, who left Manchester United in the summer of 2023 after more than a decade at the club, has found his feet again in Italy.
After spending a full year without a team, he signed with Fiorentina in August 2024 on a one-year deal with an option to extend for a further year.
His performances there have caught attention, and Manchester United officials are now said to be regretting their decision to let him leave.
The report claims the club is actively exploring ways to bring him back to Manchester, potentially offering a short-term solution while they reassess their long-term goalkeeping strategy.
