Manchester United have struggled with defensive inconsistency due to a managerial change and injuries this season.
They are reportedly planning a big clear-out. Cameroonian goalkeeper [Andre Onana](https://footballtoday.com/2025/03/03/man-utd-could-break-47-year-trend-but-28yo-key-ace-is-intent-on-staying-report/) could be on the chopping block.
Onana’s performances have been inconsistent. He has made some costly mistakes, but he has also made essential saves when needed.
Onana has kept eight clean sheets in the league this season, which is impressive given the team’s poor form and the injuries that have weakened their defence.
He did well when playing for Inter Milan against Manchester City in the 2022/23 Champions League final. His experience would be useful to United as they rebuild their squad.
Replacing Onana could be costly. United should focus on more pressing issues, such as strengthening their attack and addressing other areas of weakness.
Onana’s statistics also support keeping him. He has a 66.67 percent save rate and makes an average of 2.76 saves per match in the league.
These numbers could improve if the club brings in stronger defenders to play in front of him.
Selling Onana would also break the chemistry Lisandro Martinez, Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt have built with him.
United must focus on other areas of the squad rather than spending big on a new goalkeeper.
Onana’s experience and shot-stopping skills can be important as the club looks to bounce back next season.
