United now eyeing move to sign £29m French star, could replace 28-year-old – report | OneFootball

Manchester United are studying the market for a new goalkeeper ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Milan Live.

The Red Devils bowed out of the FA Cup in the fifth round on Sunday following a penalty shoot-out defeat to Fulham at home.

The club are now reliant on the Europa League to win silverware and qualify for the Champions League.

Regardless of this, there could be a spending spree at the end of the season. Part of the outlay could depend on several outgoings.

Milan Live today claim that the Red Devils are studying the market for a potential new goalkeeper.

AC Milan star Mike Maignan could replace Andre Onana at United in a ‘sensational’ twist.

United unlikely to pursue deal for Maignan

The 29-year-old was a top target to replace David de Gea in the summer of 2023, but the club eventually signed Onana from Inter as the former was expensive.

Onana has been unconvincing in goal during his time at Old Trafford. He has been guilty of making several unforced errors leading to draws and defeats.

Despite this, we don’t see the possibility of Onana heading for the exit door. The 28-year-old star is reportedly determined to stay at United next season.

Even if United pursue a competitor, the club should stay away from an approach for Maignan. The £29 million-rated star has made three errors leading to goals this term.

He has also conceded a penalty while making errors with his distribution too. If United are eyeing a proper successor, they should swoop for Espanyol’s Joan Garcia.

The 23-year-old has made a big name for himself with his superb reflexes. The La Liga outfit are open to selling him for less than his £24.7m release clause this summer.
