Manchester United are reportedly considering signing Burnley’s James Trafford as a potential replacement for goalkeeper Andre Onana, whose inconsistent performances have raised concerns within the club.
Onana, who joined the Red Devils in 2023 for a fee exceeding €50 million, has delivered a mixed set of displays since his arrival.
While the Cameroonian international has shown flashes of quality, his performances have been marred by costly errors.
The latest incident occurred during United’s recent 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town.
In the fourth minute, a misjudged back pass from Patrick Dorgu was met by Onana’s risky decision to rush out of his box, allowing Jaden Philogene to capitalise and score.
Though United ultimately secured the win, the mistake once again cast doubt on Onana’s reliability.
According to reports, Manchester United’s board view Trafford, who is enjoying an impressive season at Burnley, as an ideal candidate to bolster the squad’s goalkeeping options.
Talks are believed to be underway as the club explores the possibility of making a move.
Onana’s future at Old Trafford remains uncertain as the club weighs up whether to stand by the 28-year-old or pursue fresh competition between the posts.
