Reports suggest United star Andre Onana could be heading for a surprise reunion with Inter Milan. This will be a move that would shake up both Man Utd and Serie A.
Inter Milan eye return for United keeper Onana
Andre Onana’s Manchester United future has once again been thrown into doubt. The keeper is earning around £200k-a-week. He has been left watching from the sidelines after fitness concerns and poor displays dented his spot at Old Trafford.
That uncertainty has given Inter Milan hope of pulling off a comeback deal for their former number one. Onana only left the San Siro a year ago after guiding Inter to the UCL final and lifting the Coppa Italia. These achievements turned him into a fan favourite in Italy.
Inter are monitoring his situation closely, as per the Sun. New head coach Christian Chivu is weighing goalkeeping options with Yann Sommer remaining but nearing the end of his career. This could give an opening for Onana. He had a standout year with the Italian side as he made himself one of the best shot stoppers in Europe.
Keeper’s future in doubts at Old Trafford
A move back to Inter would not just be about sentiment. United themselves could benefit from the deal, freeing up space and wages to chase Belgian target Senne Lammens. The situation sets up a possible domino effect. Inter will be landing their trusted shot-stopper and United clearing the path for a younger alternative.
The Red Devils’ fans remain unhappy about the keeper’s time at the club. Some admire his reflex saves and composure with the ball. Whilst others are fed up as he continues to make big mistakes that cost important points. Inter’s interest is shows they still believe in him. It would be no surprise if Old Trafford came to say goodbye to their keeper before the window closes.
Author’s Opinion:
Onana’s talent is clear, but the PL spotlight has exposed flaws that Inter were able to cover. A return to Italy could be the fresh start he needs. That will give United the chance to move forward with a new face in goal.
