He is the world’s best goalkeeper and is on his way safely away from PSG. The link to Manchester United is strong. However, it is a Cameroonian 29-year-old who will decide whether Manchester United play with the world’s best between the sticks this season.
To put it bluntly, Andre Onana plays a big part in the signing battle for Gianluigi Donnarumma. The PSG goalkeeper, who at the age of 26 already has 412 games at the top level (split between AC Milan and PSG) would be the icing on the cake for United, after the signing of Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko. The Ligue 1 giant has signed goalkeeper Lucas Cheavlier from Lille, a clear move to fill up after Donnarumma on his chosen exit.

Manchester United’s interest in buying Gianluigi Donnarumma has been “revealed”. Donnarumma is said to be open to ending his PSG career, but only if the right club comes knocking. PSG offered him an upgraded contract in a bid to secure his long-term commitment, but Donnarumma rejected the terms.
After Aston Villa rejected the offer of Emiliano Martinez earlier this summer, United representatives have been clear that no permanent signing is on the table unless a vacancy comes up, reports The Athletic.
In other words, no exit for Andre Onana, no Donnarumma for Old Trafford.
Onana, with their very mixed results over the last two seasons – and far too many goalkeeping blunders – are on their way back to the first-choice goalkeeper position after injury in preseason. This means that he could be in place when Arsenal are welcomed to Old Trafford on Sunday.

As long as Onana, with his contract expiring in 2028, does not budge, the plan to bring Donnarumma to United is kept on ice.
