Old Trafford is once again in turmoil. After weeks of swirling rumors, multiple sources from England have confirmed that Manchester United have decided to part ways with Andre Onana in the upcoming transfer window. The decision stems not only from his poor form on the pitch but also from his disruptive attitude in the dressing room, particularly his tense clashes with manager Rúben Amorim.
From a marquee signing… to a “burden” in the dressing room
Brought in from Inter Milan for a hefty fee to replace David de Gea, Onana was expected to bring stability and modern ball-playing ability between the posts. In reality, he has consistently made costly errors in both the Premier League and Champions League, leading United to drop valuable points.
On top of that, Onana has been accused of frequently lashing out at teammates both on the pitch and behind closed doors, creating a toxic atmosphere. Several senior players reportedly feel that the goalkeeper’s arrogance and fiery temper have gone too far.
The breaking point: a confrontation with Rúben Amorim
According to English media reports, Onana’s relationship with Amorim has completely broken down. During a recent training session, the goalkeeper is said to have engaged in a heated argument with the manager over defensive tactics and ball distribution from the back. Unwilling to accept criticism, Onana raised his voice in defiance, leaving the squad stunned.
An insider revealed: “The atmosphere that day was suffocating. Amorim demanded absolute discipline, but Onana openly challenged him. It was the final straw—the coaching staff could no longer tolerate him.”
The Old Trafford door is closing fast
Under pressure from both fans and the dressing room, United’s hierarchy have decided to offload Onana as early as this winter. The move is seen as a firm step to protect Amorim’s authority and restore stability within the squad.
One insider added: “Onana is no longer part of United’s future. He has become surplus to requirements, and keeping him would only sabotage Amorim’s rebuilding plans.”
Where next for Onana?
There is speculation that the goalkeeper could return to Serie A or head to Saudi Arabia, where lucrative offers await. Still, the question remains whether any major European club is willing to place its trust in such a controversial figure.
This episode not only marks the end of a failed signing for United but also sends a clear message from Amorim: anyone who rebels or challenges the authority of the dressing room will be cast aside—no matter if they are a star or a blockbuster signing.
