Inter Milan Hold Firm on £51m Price Tag for Andre Onana
Manchester United’s pursuit of Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana has hit a stumbling block, with the Serie A giants refusing to lower their £51m (€60m) valuation. Despite positive negotiations, the Red Devils’ initial £38.5m (€45m) bid was swiftly rejected. Sources close to Crickex reveal that both clubs remain optimistic about reaching a compromise before Onana’s scheduled return to Inter’s pre-season training on July 13.
The Cameroonian shot-stopper, who flourished under Erik ten Hag at Ajax, is eager to reunite with his former manager at Old Trafford. With David De Gea’s departure confirmed, United are also eyeing Urawa Red Diamonds’ Zion Suzuki as a potential backup option.
Harry Maguire’s Uncertain Role Under Ten Hag
Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is set for crunch talks with Erik ten Hag upon returning for pre-season. The £80m defender, whose playing time dwindled to just 16 starts last season, faces an uphill battle to reclaim his spot in the starting XI. With two years left on his contract, Maguire’s future remains a topic of intense speculation.
United’s need to balance the books could see fringe players like Fred (linked with Fulham) depart, paving the way for potential reinforcements. Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat is among the midfielders on Ten Hag’s radar.
Harry Maguire’s reduced role has raised questions about his long-term future at Old Trafford.
Rasmus Hojlund: The “Next Haaland” on United’s Radar
Atalanta’s rising star Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as United’s prime striking target, with comparisons to Erling Haaland fueling excitement. While a valuation gap persists, the 20-year-old Dane’s camp has signaled his eagerness to join the Premier League giants.
Discussions include the possibility of Amad Diallo joining Atalanta—either permanently or on loan—though Ten Hag intends to assess the Ivorian winger in pre-season first. Diallo’s impressive Championship campaign with Sunderland has bolstered his case for a United recall.
Why Hojlund Could Be United’s Game-Changer
- Physicality & Speed: Combines raw power with blistering acceleration.
- Clinical Edge: Scored 9 goals in 32 Serie A appearances last season.
- High Ceiling: At 20, his potential aligns with Ten Hag’s youth-focused rebuild.
