André Onana has reportedly decided to remain at Manchester United FC for next season despite receiving offers to leave the club.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper, currently on loan at Turkish side Trabzonspor, is expected to return to Old Trafford after the end of his temporary spell, with his contract at Manchester United running until the summer of 2028.
According to reports from the BBC Sport, Onana has made it clear that he wants to continue with the Premier League club rather than seek a permanent move elsewhere.
The report stated that the goalkeeper intends to join Manchester United’s overseas pre-season training camp as preparations begin for the new campaign.
Onana is also expected to compete for the starting role alongside Belgian goalkeeper Seny Lammens as the club reshapes its squad ahead of another season in European competition.
The 30-year-old joined Manchester United in the summer of 2023 from Italian club Inter Milan in a deal reportedly worth around 50 million euros.
His arrival was viewed as a major signing for the English side, particularly after his strong performances in Italy and European competition with Inter. However, reports suggest that the goalkeeper has struggled to fully meet expectations since moving to Old Trafford.
Despite questions surrounding his performances, Onana now appears determined to remain part of the club’s long-term plans.
Manchester United are preparing for a significant season after securing qualification for next year’s UEFA Champions League.
The club missed out on the competition during the previous two campaigns, making this season’s qualification an important achievement for the team.
United currently sit third in the Premier League table with 68 points and will conclude their domestic season on Sunday with a final league match against Brighton & Hove Albion FC.
Attention is already beginning to shift toward preparations for next season, with questions surrounding several positions in the squad, including the goalkeeping department.
Onana’s decision to stay could provide continuity for Manchester United as the club seeks to strengthen its position domestically and in Europe.
The Cameroonian international remains one of Africa’s most recognisable goalkeepers and has continued to attract interest from clubs outside England. Yet despite speculation over a possible departure, the latest reports indicate he is focused on remaining at Old Trafford and fighting for his place in the team.
Competition with Lammens is expected to be one of the key battles during pre-season as Manchester United attempt to build momentum before returning to Champions League football.
For now, Onana’s position appears clear: the goalkeeper intends to continue his career with Manchester United and prove his value to the club in the coming season.
