Man United eyeing €38m Ac Milan star as Possible Andre Onana replacement -Reports

Manchester United are looking at AC Milan shot-stopper Mike Maignan as an ideal replacement for Andre Onana.

Manchester United is worried about Andre Onana’s future. There have been rumors of the Cameroonian international leaving Old Trafford.

The Red Devils have therefore begun to consider other options. Fichajes reports that Mike Maignan is viewed by Ruben Amorim’s staff as the perfect substitute for the former Inter Milan goalie.

The period of Onana at Old Trafford United made the bold decision to sign Andre Onana to the team during Erik ten Hag’s tenure there instead of extending David de Gea’s contract.

The 28-year-old made a lot of mistakes during his terrible rookie campaign. The Red Devils have supported him thus far in spite of his subpar play, and he has been able to improve the current campaign.

While Andre Onana has been doing most things right this season and he still has over three years left on his deal, the former Inter Milan shot-stopper has been linked with a move to the Middle East.

Saudi Pro League clubs are trying to lure him, and Manchester United are concerned about their number-one potentially leaving them in the summer of 2025. As a result, they have started preparing for life without the Ajax graduate, with Mike Maignan emerging as a target.

Manchester United want Mike Maignan to replace Onana
Manchester United have identified Maignan as the perfect player to replace their number one. After making a name for himself at LOSC Lille, the French international made the move to AC Milan in the summer of 2021.

He has gone from strength to strength over the years and has established himself as one of the best in his position in Serie A and beyond.

The 29-year-old is an extremely reliable figure in goal. Mike Maignan is good with his feet and has all the skill set that Ruben Amorim would want in an ideal goalkeeper. His leadership along with his experience could come in handy for a team like United.

The in-demand Maignan is a key figure at AC Milan, and they would want to have him around for as long as possible but the Red Devils are looking to prise him away next summer.

He will only have a year left on his current deal ahead of next season, and the Serie A giants could have a massive decision to make if they are offered a significant fee for his signature.

Although they do not want to part ways with him, a significant fee could tempt them into sanctioning his departure. The report suggests that Manchester United are already preparing a strategy to convince the player as well as the Italian outfit to get a deal over the line
