André Onana’s tenure at Manchester United faces increasing scrutiny following a challenging season marked by inconsistent performances and mounting criticism.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper, who joined the club in 2023 with high expectations, has struggled to meet the standards set by his predecessors.
In a recent appearance in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, for charity events organized by the Bertrand Traoré Foundation, Onana addressed questions about his future at Old Trafford.
When asked if he would leave the club, Onana responded with a smile, stating, “Will I leave? I don’t know, we’ll see!” While his response was lighthearted, it underscores the uncertainty surrounding his position at Manchester United.
Onana’s second season at the club has been underwhelming. Despite a promising start, he has faced criticism for several high-profile errors, including a costly mistake in the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur, where his failure to stop Brennan Johnson’s close-range shot led to a 1-0 defeat.
This loss marked a historic low for Onana, as he became the first goalkeeper to lose three European finals with three different clubs: Ajax Amsterdam, Inter Milan, and now Manchester United.
Statistically, Onana’s performance has been subpar. In the 2024/2025 season, he has conceded 45 goals in 34 matches, averaging 0.01 goals conceded per match, and has kept just eight clean sheets.
These figures place him among the lower-performing goalkeepers in the Premier League this season.
The pressure on Onana intensified following Manchester United’s disappointing 15th-place finish in the Premier League, their worst performance in recent history.
Fans and pundits have expressed frustration over his inconsistent displays, leading to increased speculation about his future at the club.
In response to the growing concerns, Manchester United are reportedly considering reinforcements in the goalkeeper position.
The club has been linked with potential signings, including Mile Svilar from AS Roma and Emiliano Martínez from Aston Villa, as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
Despite the speculation, Onana remains under contract with Manchester United until 2028, following his £43.8 million move from Inter Milan.
A source close to the player indicated that Onana intends to stay at Old Trafford unless informed that he is surplus to requirements.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the future of André Onana at Manchester United remains uncertain.
While he has expressed a desire to stay, the club’s actions in the coming months will likely determine whether he remains part of their plans or if a change in goalkeeping personnel is on the horizon.
