Manchester United face battle to re-sign former talent as Monaco target him as Andre Onana alternative

Manchester United’s goalkeeping situation is up in the air this summer amid question marks over Andre Onana’s future.

Manchester United have secured one signing so far this summer, as Matheus Cunha completed his move to Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim will hope for more attacking signings in the coming weeks, but may also need to have goalkeeping targets in mind.

Altay Bayindir is expected to leave United, with a new backup goalkeeper potentially needed this summer.

Monaco target Vanja Milinkovic-Savic amid Andre Onana chase

Onana committed a string of major mistakes last season, including a nightmare error late on against Lyon.

Amorim took Onana out of the firing line, but brought him back into the side for the end of the season.

The Cameroonian just hasn’t lived up to the billing at Old Trafford, and he has recently received Champions League interest.

Monaco wanted to sign Onana as they look to sign a new stopper, but a deal looks unlikely.

Reports suggest Onana will not be joining Monaco, and that has left the Ligue 1 side to look elsewhere.

Foot Mercato claim that Monaco are now interested in signing Vanja Milinkovic-Savic from Torino.

The Serbian is a familiar name to United fans, given that he agreed to join the Red Devils from Vojvodina in 2014.

Milinkovic-Savic headed back to Vojvodina on loan, but United were effectively forced to let him go as he failed to obtain a work permit.

Now one of the top goalkeepers in Serie A, Milinkovic-Savic has become a star in Italy, as seen in the statistics provided by SofaScore below.

A move for Milinkovic-Savic would rule out any deal for Onana, but United will be watching the Torino stopper’s situation closely.

United eyeing Milinkovic-Savic

10 years since United allowed Milinkovic-Savic to leave, a return to Old Trafford could be on the cards.

United have shown an interest in Milinkovic-Savic, potentially viewing him as competition for Onana.

The 28-year-old giant may feel a sense of unfinished business with United, having seen his dream move snatched away from him.

Monaco can offer a first-choice role and Champions League football, so Milinkovic-Savic would have to think carefully if it came down to a straight choice.

United are unlikely to firm up any interest until Bayindir moves on, but may hope Monaco go elsewhere with their goalkeeping search.
