Manchester United’s eighth-place finish in the Premier League last season meant they missed out on a Champions League spot, though they secured a Europa League berth by winning the FA Cup. As a result of a clause in players’ contracts, Andre Onana and his teammates had their wages slashed by 25%—a decision that reportedly left the goalkeeper stunned, according to The Athletic. This led to a conversation with then-sporting director Dan Ashworth. Despite exploring a move to the Saudi Pro League last summer, Onana ultimately purchased a home in Manchester, signaling his long-term commitment to the club.
Since arriving from Inter Milan in 2023 as David de Gea’s replacement, Onana has faced criticism for a number of high-profile mistakes, particularly in Champions League fixtures against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray. Looking to secure his future, the 29-year-old recently changed representatives, switching from Goal Management to LIAN Sports as he eyes a new contract with United.
His recent error against Lyon saw him benched by manager Ruben Amorim in their 4-1 loss to Newcastle, fueling speculation that United may consider offloading him this summer due to growing doubts about his consistency.
Nevertheless, Onana could return between the posts as United face Lyon in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final, with the tie currently poised at 2-2 following the first leg in France.
