Is he any good? Was very highly rated but was shunned by Amorim the manager he thrived under (I think).

A Man U player can look completely different once away from the chaos could solve the DCM problem if cheap enough.

He's absolutely shit.

Goldbridge thinks he is their worst player.

Goldbridge is a fucking idiot. I’m sure the grizzling little pissflap lives in Dorridge as well.

Football insider is keich, so probably just rehashing rumours from circa 2024 when Onana was linked with the Red Mancs initially.

Don't think he has the conditioning to make an impact for a full PL season, sadly. So if there was any truth to that I'd bite.

The player himself might be better of in a less demanding league like Serie A, though.

Who do Juve or Inter have who might be a consideration for swapsies.

Onana stays for me. He’s been very good recently and can get better if he can curb the injuries. Bailey, both Emi’s, Digne, release Sancho and Elliot way before I’d consider letting Onana go. We are being linked on Instagram with a young, soon to be out of contract keeper called Benchaouch from Monaco.

I’d prefer to keep Onana but we know that we probably need to make at least one significant sale and I’m not sure those listed would raise enough. I know we should take these rumours with a pinch of salt but he does strike me as one that would fit the bill to be this season’s Jacob Ramsey.

I'd keep Onana as well, still improving and one of our younger players.

Yep agree. He’s never as bad as is made out sometimes and has generally had a good season. I think we’ll see him thrive in the remaining games with McGinn and Tielemans back alongside him. Agree on the sales, though would probably keep Digne and big Emi for another season if they wanted to stay. I know re sale value etc, but there still arent many better keepers than Martinez.

In an ideal world, most of us would probably keep Onana. But things work differently for clubs outside the so-called “Sky Six.”

If selling him helps us hold on to players like Rogers, Tielemans, Konsa, and maybe even Martinez, then he’s arguably the most valuable one we could afford to lose.

He’s a solid player, but I expected more from him—especially when our midfield was hit by injuries. He didn’t really step up when we needed him most.

I like Onana, he's great.

The only slight reservation I have is that he seems quite injury-prone, which is a problem when you consider how physically demanding his role is.
