BREAKING NEWS: “We can’t continue to wait for Onana to get over his silly mistakes, so we are getting another goalkeeper to replace him as our first goalkeeper” – This is according to Ruben Amorim as Manchester United are reportedly preparing a “last-minute move” for a top La Liga goalkeeper, with discussions expected to begin shortly
In a stunning development from Old Trafford this evening, Manchester United managerial candidate Ruben Amorim — widely tipped to be a future contender for the United dugout — has delivered a scathing assessment of the club’s current number one, André Onana, while reports intensify that United are preparing a last-minute move for a top goalkeeper from La Liga.
Speaking during a press conference, Amorim made his feelings clear about the Cameroonian international’s error-prone performances over the past season.
“We can’t continue to wait for Onana to get over his silly mistakes,” Amorim stated pointedly. “At this level, consistency is non-negotiable. So we are getting another goalkeeper to replace him as our first-choice.”
United to Launch “Last-Minute Move” for La Liga Stopper
According to credible sources close to the club, Manchester United are now working urgently behind the scenes to secure a new number one goalkeeper from La Liga. While the identity of the target has not yet been officially revealed, insiders claim the player is an established name within Spanish football and could arrive at Old Trafford before the start of the new campaign.
Discussions are expected to formally begin within the next few days, with United determined to avoid a repeat of last season’s costly defensive errors.
Frustration at Old Trafford
Onana, who arrived at Manchester United from Inter Milan in a high-profile £47 million deal last summer, endured a mixed debut season in the Premier League. While his shot-stopping and ball distribution impressed at times, a series of high-profile mistakes — particularly in crucial fixtures — have left the United hierarchy frustrated.
Amorim’s comments have added fuel to mounting speculation that United’s patience with the Cameroonian may be wearing thin.
“We need a reliable presence at the back, someone who gives confidence to the team in big moments,” Amorim added. “If Onana cannot be that person, we have to find someone who can.”
Fan Reaction Divided
The news has divided Manchester United supporters online, with many backing Amorim’s no-nonsense stance on raising standards, while others argue that Onana deserves another season to settle and prove his worth.
One fan posted: “It’s about time we took goalkeeping seriously again — no more soft errors.”
Another countered: “Onana had some tough moments, but he’s still a top keeper. I’d back him to bounce back.”
What’s Next?
With Manchester United’s transfer team reportedly in contact with La Liga representatives, an official bid could be submitted imminently. The club is believed to be targeting a deal that can be wrapped up swiftly, to give the new signing time to integrate before the start of the new season.
For now, the pressure mounts on Onana’s future at Old Trafford — and with Ruben Amorim’s brutally honest assessment making headlines, the clock may be ticking faster than expected for United’s current number one.
