**Manchester, England -** Manchester United are reportedly preparing for a potential departure of goalkeeper Andre Onana, eyeing AC Milan’s Mike Maignan as a replacement. While Onana has shown improved form this season after a shaky debut campaign, the club is concerned by links to Saudi Pro League clubs and the possibility of him leaving in 2025.
According to a report from Fichajes, United have identified Maignan, the French international, as the ideal successor. The 29-year-old has excelled at AC Milan since his 2021 arrival from Lille, establishing himself as one of Serie A’s top goalkeepers. His strong footwork, leadership qualities, and overall reliability make him an attractive option for manager Erik ten Hag.
Maignan is a key player for AC Milan, but with only one year remaining on his contract after next season, the Italian club might be tempted by a substantial offer from Manchester United. The report suggests United are developing a strategy to secure Maignan’s signature, aiming to convince both the player and AC Milan to finalize a deal next summer. This proactive move underscores United’s commitment to maintaining a high level of goalkeeping despite Onana’s recent resurgence.
