Manchester United fans can rest easy, Andre Onana will remain the club’s first-choice goalkeeper for the entire 2025/26 season despite recent speculation linking the Cameroonian shot-stopper with a move away from Old Trafford.

Sources close to the club have confirmed to Newspremises that reports suggesting United are pursuing Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain are unfounded. Manager Rúben Amorim is said to be fully confident in Onana’s ability to lead from the back and has no plans to replace him this summer.

United’s Transfer Focus Lies Elsewhere

While Donnarumma’s situation at PSG has deteriorated, the Italian goalkeeper was recently dropped from the squad amid a complete breakdown in relations with the French champions but, United’s recruitment strategy is focused on strengthening their midfield rather than making changes in goal.

The Red Devils have identified Carlos Baleba of Brighton & Hove Albion as their primary transfer target, with Amorim keen to bolster the centre of the pitch ahead of the new campaign.

Donnarumma Set for Manchester… But Not United

Despite being linked with a move to England, Donnarumma is not heading to Old Trafford. Instead, multiple reports indicate the 25-year-old has reached an agreement to join Manchester City as a long-term replacement for Ederson.

Ederson, who has just one year left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium, is expected to leave either this summer or at the end of next season as a free agent.

In a heartfelt farewell message to PSG fans, Donnarumma expressed disappointment at the manner of his departure:

“From my first day arriving, I gave everything, on and off the pitch, to defend the Paris Saint-Germain goal. Unfortunately, someone decided I could no longer be part of the group. I am disappointed and disheartened.

I will always carry the memory of those magical nights and the love of the fans. Playing for this club and living in this city has been an immense honour.”

Ederson Closing in on Galatasaray Switch

In another major goalkeeping development, Ederson has reportedly agreed personal terms with Galatasaray, with a three-year deal running until 2028 worth over £6 million per year plus bonuses.

The Brazilian goalkeeper has already informed Pep Guardiola of his desire to leave, and the Turkish champions are in negotiations with City over a transfer fee.

Onana’s Role Remains Secure

For Manchester United, the message is clear: Andre Onana will start and finish the season as the club’s No.1. Amorim values the former Inter Milan keeper’s distribution, shot-stopping, and leadership, and believes stability between the posts will be crucial as the Red Devils aim for a stronger campaign.

With the transfer window heating up, United’s focus will remain on securing their midfield target, while City prepare for a major change in goal — a shift that could have significant implications in the Premier League title race.
