Onana’s performance has significantly improved in recent months, especially after a series of high-profile mistakes during their unsuccessful Champions League campaign. He showcased his brilliance in their FA Cup quarter-final victory over Liverpool, contributing to their 4-3 win.
Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag even had to come to Onana’s defense during a press conference in December, asserting that he is the “second best goalkeeper in the Premier League.” Ten Hag further explained that when analyzing the statistics, it becomes evident that Onana holds this position.
Despite a few errors in the Champions League, Onana has performed well overall in the first five months of the season. However, there are rumors circulating that Man Utd may consider replacing or providing competition for Onana this summer. According to Spanish publication Nacional, the Red Devils have made a tempting offer to Real Madrid’s Lunin.
Lunin has played the majority of matches for Real Madrid this season due to Thibaut Courtois’ absence caused by serious knee injuries. However, it is believed that Lunin does not wish to return to the role of a substitute next season and may seek a move elsewhere.
The report suggests that Lunin is contemplating accepting Man Utd’s offer, especially since his contract with Bernabeu expires in the summer of 2025.
While Lunin ideally wants to remain at Real Madrid, his chances of starting ahead of Courtois when the Belgian goalkeeper recovers from his injury are slim. Man Utd is in need of a reliable goalkeeper to fill the void left by David De Gea, and their signing of Andre Onana has not completely resolved this issue.
