Andre Onana responds as Man United confirm done deal

Andre Onana was among the players to react as Man United confirmed a new deal in the goalkeeping department.

The Cameroonian endured a difficult season at Old Trafford, facing heavy criticism from supporters after a series of inconsistent performances.

His showing in the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham proved to be the tipping point for many fans, with some Man United supporters calling for the club to sell Onana this summer.

Those calls may yet be answered, with former United chief scout Mick Brown revealing that Man United are prepared to accept a cut-price fee for Onana.

Since arriving from Inter Milan in 2023, he has struggled to find his rhythm, and speculation continues to swirl regarding potential replacements between the sticks.

Despite that uncertainty, United have wasted no time in securing other areas of their goalkeeping ranks, confirming a new deal which sparked a wave of reaction online.

Tom Heaton signs new Man United extension as goalkeeper plans continue

Man United confirmed on 27 June via Instagram that veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton has signed a new one-year extension with the club.

Onana was among the players to react to the news, spotted liking the announcement as his fellow shot-stopper extended his stay at Old Trafford.

Heaton, a United academy graduate, returned to the club in 2021 and has played a key leadership role in the squad, providing experience and depth in the goalkeeping department.

He has made 382 appearances in his career for clubs such as Burnley, Aston Villa and Cardiff City but has made just three appearances for the Red Devils.

With United prepared to accept cut-price offers for Onana and Heaton’s extension confirmed, the club are expected to target a new first-choice goalkeeper this summer.

Football Insider revealed that Man United are well-placed to sign Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez, though any potential deal could hinge on the sale of Onana.

However, Villa’s financial situation remains under scrutiny following their failure to qualify for the Champions League, raising the possibility of key players being sold to balance the books.

Reports have suggested that Martinez is determined to remain in Europe should he depart Villa Park, ruling out a switch to Saudi Arabia — a boost to United’s chances if they step up their interest.

Time will tell whether United advance with an official offer, but the goalkeeping department remains a clear area to watch as the summer window progresses.
