These offers have remained intact since Onana left Inter Milan for Man Utd in 2023.

Onana had the chance to move to Saudi Arabia that summer but opted to join the Red Devils instead.

Onana to leave Man Utd?

It has been reported almost unanimously in the English and European media that United have decided to transfer list Onana ahead of the summer transfer market.

This comes after two generally dismal seasons following his big-money move from Inter Milan in 2023.

The dreadful performance against Lyon in the Europa League last Thursday - where he was to blame for both goals in a 2-2 draw - have proved to be the final straw for the club.

However, The Sun reports that Onana as it stands has no intention of leaving Man Utd this summer and wants to prove himself at the club.

United also will not sell Onana unless they avoid making a capital loss on the goalkeeper, according to The Athletic.

United bought the Cameroonian for a fee of around €55 million from Inter.

The amortised cost remaining on his contract is around €33m. This means that United must sell him for at least this amount to avoid a capital loss on their accounts.

United simply cannot accept a transfer fee of a lower amount, also because it will have implications with meeting the Premier League's PSR requirements.

"Unless somebody came in with huge money for him, the hopes of United selling him for a profit are almost non-existent, and that would mean a PSR - Profitability and Sustainability - loss, which could rule out the possibility of selling him," David Ornstein said.

Onana has been widely panned by the media over the last week, while he was even branded by Lyon's former Man Utd midfielder Nemanja Matic as " one of the worst goalkeeper in Man Utd's history" during an ugly public spat.

The goalkeeper has at least received support from the National Union of Cameroonian Players (Synafoc).

On Monday they released the following statement: "Synafoc vehemently denounces this excessive behavior and remarks from petty individuals who have turned into hired prosecutors.

"Synafoc therefore calls on everyone to show greater restraint. It asks all true Cameroonian football fans to give their full support to this son of the country who proudly flies the flag for Cameroon abroad."

Ruben Amorim left Onana out of the matchday squad for United's Premier League match against Newcastle on Sunday, which the Red Devils lost 4-1.

He is expected to return to the starting line-up for the Europa League quarter final second leg against Lyon at Old Trafford on Thursday.
