Could Manchester United sign a second Onana this summer?
The Reds are considering a move for Everton midfielder Amadou Onana once they sell Fred, according to reports.
Manchester United have been heavily linked with Fiorentina star Sofyan Amrabat throughout the summer, but it now sounds like the club are assessing other options too.
Everton’s Onana is one of those player if you believe the latest from the Daily Mail. They add that the Toffees’ price tag will be key to United’s decision to launch of pursuit or not.
The Belgium international has been a hit at Goodison Park since his £33m transfer from 2022 Lille. If he has another impressive season in the Premier League, we can expect questions about his qualities warranting a bigger platform than Everton.
But not if United get there ahead of the rest.
Onana made 33 appearances for the club as they avoided relegation to the Championship. That doesn’t change the fact he was playing Champions League football during his time in France.
At 21, Onana is five years younger than Amrabat (26), but I have a feeling this will come down to which player United can get for less money.
Especially if Ten Hag plans to add more signings to his squad before deadline day.
