Manchester United chase elite France star Mike Maignan as a replacement for Andre Onana. United spent £47.2m to sign Onana from Inter Milan in July 2023 after letting David de Gea go.
Erik ten Hag once hoped to reunite with his former Ajax star Onana. He viewed Onana as the perfect keeper to help United build from the back.
Onana’s performances disappointed fans and management alike. The Cameroonian keeper made errors that led to goals.

Italian source Milan Live reveals that head of recruitment Christopher Vivell will pursue Mike Maignan. The 29-year-old keeper’s contract with AC Milan expires in June 2026.
Maignan is hailed as one of the best shot-stoppers in the world. United plan a big-money assault to bring him to the Premier League.
Maignan wants to prove himself at the highest level and avoid new terms with Milan. He expects Champions League football within two years, a challenge given United’s current 14th place finish.
United also track Eduardo Camavinga at Real Madrid and consider keeper options Diogo Costa and James Trafford. They even drew up a five-year contract offer for Trafford from Burnley.
Onana’s theatrics and poor displays make him an unpopular figure in the dressing room. Meanwhile, United battle for Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace. They plan to replace striker Rasmus Hojlund, and Alan Shearer urges a look at young Chido Obi.
