Andre Onana open to Man Utd exit after shock talks held | OneFootball

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is open to leaving the club this summer and is in talks over a move to Saudi Arabia, a report has claimed.

Onana is under immense pressure at United after two underwhelming years as the starting goalkeeper, recently culminating in being dropped after an error-laden performance in the Europa League quarter-final victory over Lyon, having already been branded "one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United history" by Nemanja Matic.

It was previously reported that Onana would resist any efforts from United to sell him this summer, but since then, speculation over his future has continued to grown and the Red Devils have been linked to a whole host of new goalkeepers, including Brighton's Bart Verbruggen and Espanyol's Joan Garcia.

Now, however, Foot Mercato state Onana is in "major discussions" with representatives from little known Saudi side NEOM, who are owned by the Public Investment Fund and recently sealed their promotion to the division's top flight.

Onana is said to be open to making the move to Saudi Arabia and joining a NEOM side which includes former Premier League talents Said Benrahma and Ahmed Hegazy.

An agreement has not yet been reached but Onana's willingness to make the move is seen as a huge boost to NEOM's chances of getting a deal done.

United scouts have been busy drawing up a long list of potential targets and were recently linked with Eintracht Frankfurt's Kaua Santos, while Royal Antwerp's Senne Lammens has also been mentioned as an option.
