Report: Ruben Amorim makes major U-turn on unwanted Man United star

Andre Onana is set to remain Manchester United’s first-choice goalkeeper for the upcoming season, with manager Ruben Amorim ready to put his faith in the Cameroon international despite initially exploring the market for a potential replacement, according to GiveMeSport.

After a disappointing 2024/25 campaign that ended without a trophy or European qualification, Man United have wasted no time in attempting to reshape their squad under Amorim’s leadership.

The Red Devils made a statement early in the window by landing Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a £62.5 million deal, while also working on a move to bring Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo to Old Trafford to add more firepower in attack.

Amorim is exploring the market for new additions

The Portuguese manager is expected to sign more players in other positions this summer in order to improve the standards at the club and to add depth and quality to the squad that finished 15th in the Premier League last season.

One of the key discussions during the early summer planning revolved around Onana’s future, with Amorim and his recruitment team initially keen on signing a new goalkeeper capable of becoming United’s number one heading into the new season.

The club assessed potential replacements, with players like Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez being linked with a move to Old Trafford.

However, Amorim has made a significant shift in his stance regarding the goalkeeper position now.

Andre Onana is set to remain at Man United

The Portuguese manager is now prepared to keep Onana as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper, recognising the challenges of securing an upgrade and the difficulty of moving Onana on during this window.

While Amorim remains keen on adding competition to the goalkeeping department to push Onana and ensure higher standards, he has accepted that Onana will likely start the season as United’s No.1.

Onana has endured a difficult time at Old Trafford since joining the club and made some high-profile errors but his ability to play from the back is still valued highly at the club.
