Manchester United star changes agency ahead of summer transfer window
It is set to be a busy summer at Man Utd and one player has changed representatives.
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has changed representatives ahead of the summer transfer window. It is set to be a busy summer at Old Trafford as head coach Ruben Amorim looks to continue his rebuild of the first-team squad with key additions all over the pitch.
United will prioritise the addition of a striker and a right winger this summer, while they are also likely to be in the market for a couple of midfielders and possibly another central defender. It is understood Amorim also has long-term doubts over the goalkeeping situation at United, though it is unlikely to be a pressing issue this summer when there are bigger issues to be solved.
Onana could have another full season to prove himself under the Portuguese head coach before his position is scrutinised in more detail, but it is interesting to see him change agency at a time of uncertainty.
Onana changes agency
In a social media post, it has been confirmed Onana has changed agency to be represented by Fali Ramadani’s Lian Sports agency. The group also represent Bournemouth star Milos Kerkez, Nottingham Forest ace Nikola Milenković and Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, they uploaded a graphic of the United goalkeeper along with the caption: “We are thrilled to welcome Andre Onana to the Lian Sports Family.”
United could be in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer with veteran Tom Heaton out of contract at the end of the campaign. Altay Bayindir has also been heavily linked with a potential exit due to his lack of regular game time, while Amorim is understood to have reservations about Onana as well. Given the tight financial situation, United could delay any overhaul to the goalkeeper department and give academy graduates Radek Vitek and Elyh Harrison the opportunity to become third-choice instead.
