Inter Milan are interested in Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana
Manchester United are preparing for a major squad clear-out this summer as they look to reset and rebuild following a disastrous season. The club is determined to offload players deemed surplus to requirements—whether due to poor form or a lack of fit within Rúben Amorim’s tactical system—in order to make room for new signings better suited to his vision.
One name under increasing uncertainty is André Onana. The 28-year-old goalkeeper has struggled to establish himself at Old Trafford, with his performances often drawing heavy criticism from both fans and pundits. Despite arriving with high expectations, Onana has yet to deliver the consistency and command expected from a first-choice United shot-stopper. As a result, there’s growing speculation that the club could offload him in the summer and pursue a goalkeeper more reliable and aligned with Amorim’s style of play.

According to Spazio Milan, Inter Milan are reportedly interested in bringing André Onana back to the club, where he previously impressed before his move to Manchester United. However, the potential deal hinges entirely on United’s decision—whether they’re willing to let the Cameroonian depart after just one season.
With Yann Sommer now 36 years old, Inter are in search of a younger long-term option between the sticks, especially with the Champions League on the horizon next season. Onana, already familiar with the club and its setup, could be an ideal successor. If United opt to part ways, a return to San Siro might just be on the cards for the 28-year-old.
Onana’s time at Manchester United has been anything but smooth sailing, but beneath the turbulence, his natural talent still shines through. Known for his sharp reflexes and stunning shot-stopping ability, Onana has produced moments of brilliance—yet frequent errors have undeniably shaken his confidence and drawn criticism.
What truly sets him apart is his ball-playing ability, those bold, crisp passes from the back that can disrupt opposition lines and spark attacks. While this adventurous style has backfired at times, it’s a quality that few goalkeepers possess. Standing at 6’3”, he commands a physical presence in goal, but it’s his decision-making under pressure that has occasionally let him—and United—down.

Still, Onana’s composure, vision, and potential can’t be ignored. The eight clean sheets in 29 Premier League appearances show glimpses of reliability amid inconsistency. It’s clear that this is a rough patch, not the full picture. Onana remains a keeper with rare, game-changing qualities, one who, with the right support and confidence, could yet flourish at Old Trafford.

United fans are not happy with his performances as the team has continued to concede goals this season. Obviously, the defence has to be blamed for that as well. However, Cameeroonian has made some silly mistakes in goal consistently and his performances have not caught the eye of Amorim as well.
Should the Red Devils sell him?
I’d say Manchester United sell Andre Onana this summer if Inter come calling. He has got talent—those feet are unreal—but his shaky hands and costly slip-ups have drained confidence from the squad. The Red Devils need a keeper who steadies the ship, not rattles it. If Inter want him back, cash in and find someone that United can trust. It will be a win-win deal for the Red Devils if they can make a profit from his signing and invest in a better goalkeeper.
