André Onana has made a decision regarding his future, turning down a lucrative opportunity that could have changed his career path.
Despite a challenging season and criticism of his performances, André Onana remains committed to being part of the team at Old Trafford.
The decision comes amid speculation over his future after joining the club from Inter Milan in a deal just shy of £44 million during July 2023.
Since the beginning of his career at Manchester United, Onana has faced intense scrutiny due to his inconsistent performances.
However, the Cameroonian goalkeeper reportedly has no plans to leave Manchester United, a club that has become his dream to play for.
Onana’s loyalty amid transfer speculation
Onana’s decision to stay at Manchester United despite much criticism shows his love and passion for the club. This season, his performances have been inconsistent, often drawing criticism from fans and analysts.
However, according to The Mirror, Onana still believes that he can prove his abilities and contribute better to the team.
With three years left on his contract, Onana seems to be in no rush to find a new club. He is committed to working hard and improving his performance for Amorim’s squad.
Despite a reported offer from a Saudi Arabian club, he prefers to develop his career in the Premier League.
Amorim’s squad overhaul: what it means for Onana’s future
Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim is planning a major squad overhaul, raising questions about Onana’s future at the club.
Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia all departed on loan during the January market, while Jadon Sancho has spent the season at Chelsea on a temporary contract, with the move expected to be made permanent for around £25 million in the summer.
Reports suggest Amorim aims to offload several first-team players to fund new signings, with Onana among those linked to an exit.
Speculation has grown as Manchester United are reportedly considering Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen as a potential replacement, among other candidates.
However, Onana remains the club’s first-choice goalkeeper for now, and his recent rejection of offers from Saudi Arabia signals his desire to stay.

With Amorim prioritising other areas for reinforcement, Onana’s position could remain secure for at least another season. However, with Altay Bayındır’s future in question, the club may choose to bring in a new goalkeeper regardless of Onana’s future.
The coming months will be crucial in determining whether he remains a key part of United’s new era.
