Fabrizio Confirms: It’s Over Between Man United & £50M Signing

It appears that Andre Onana’s tenure at Manchester United is drawing to a close. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, both the club and the Cameroonian goalkeeper see his time at Old Trafford as “almost closed,” with a departure looking increasingly likely at the end of the 2024-25 season.

Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, stated, “It’s very difficult to imagine Onana staying at United beyond this season. The feeling today is that it’s OVER.”

This revelation has sent shockwaves through the footballing world, as Onana’s exit would mark the end of a turbulent spell for the 29-year-old shot-stopper at one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs.

A Promising Start Fades

Onana arrived at Manchester United in the summer of 2023 from Inter Milan for a reported £47 million, reuniting with his former Ajax manager, Erik ten Hag. The move was seen as a statement of intent, with Onana’s ball-playing ability and experience in high-stakes matches—having reached the 2023 Champions League final with Inter—expected to solidify United’s backline.

However, his time at United has been marred by inconsistency and high-profile errors. Despite showing flashes of brilliance, including crucial saves in key matches, Onana’s mistakes in both domestic and European competitions have drawn criticism from fans and pundits alike.

The pressure of playing for a club of United’s stature, coupled with a defense that has often left him exposed, has made his stint in Manchester a challenging one.

Mutual Understanding

According to Romano, the sentiment that Onana’s time at United is nearing its end is shared by both the player and the club. While the exact reasons remain speculative, it’s understood that Onana may be seeking a fresh start elsewhere, potentially in a league or system better suited to his playing style after his loan spell at Trabzonspor come end of the season.
