Manchester United identify FC Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa as Andre Onana’s potential replacement

Default 2 3

Manchester United are reportedly exploring options to replace Andre Onana, with FC Porto’s Diogo Costa emerging as a leading candidate.

Onana, who has endured a turbulent season, has come under intense scrutiny following a string of high-profile mistakes.

The Cameroonian’s latest errors in United’s 2-2 UEFA Europa League draw with Lyon have only intensified criticism from fans. Despite the backlash, United’s Portuguese manager publicly backed the under-fire shot-stopper after that performance.

However, Onana was once again in goal during United’s disappointing 1-0 defeat to Wolves in the Premier League—a result that saw the Red Devils slump to 14th place in the standings, further fueling speculation over his future at Old Trafford.

According to a report from TeamTalk, United are closely monitoring Diogo Costa as a potential replacement.

The 25-year-old Portuguese international has impressed in recent seasons, having been named Primeira Liga’s Goalkeeper of the Season in both 2021/22 and 2022/23.

While FC Porto are reportedly eager to retain their star keeper, they may be open to negotiations depending on United’s offer.

The report also suggests that the Premier League giants are unlikely to part ways with Onana unless they secure a high-calibre replacement—an assessment that currently places Costa at the top of their wish list for the upcoming transfer window.
