Onana joined United from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023 for €55 million after then-manager Erik ten Hag wanted the goalkeeper he had good contact with from his time at Ajax, but it has been a complete failure with a number of serious mistakes.
There has been a lot of talk about bringing back first-choice goalkeeper David de Gea for many years, but several of those who remain in the organization at Old Trafford believe there is “too much history” for it to be that smart.

Manchester United are said to be ready to make a bid of €60 million for Gianluigi Donnarumma, but they will not do anything, other than air their interest until after the Champions League final.
Manchester United have now entered the race for Donnarumma along with Manchester City, Juventus and Inter Milan. The Italian is arguably one of the world’s best goalkeepers at the moment, after a string of sensational performances in the Champions League.
Donnarumma has perhaps been the Champions League’s most valuable player, with crucial saves on PSG’s way to the final.
Against Liverpool in the last eight, he saved two penalties – from Darwin Núñez and Curtis Jones – to send PSG ahead. Against Aston Villa in the quarter-finals, he made a series of impossible saves to prevent an away comeback.
And in the semi-final win over Arsenal, Donnarumma saved four miraculous shots – two in each game – to secure PSG’s 3-1 aggregate victory.

Experience beyond his age
After debuting as a 16-year-old, Donnarumma already has ten years of experience and over 400 club appearances for Milan and PSG.
He also has 72 caps for Italy and was named the tournament’s best player at Euro 2020, when the Azzurri won the championship.
He has a particularly impressive record against English teams and on English soil, most memorably in the Euro 2020 final when he saved penalties in the win over England.
