Transfer expert, David Ornstern has revealed that Manchester United have Everton midfielder Amadou Onana on their shortlist as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his midfield.
The Athletic’s reporter told Vibe with FIVE’s YouTube channel that Onana is a target for the Red Devils. He claims that the Belgian is one of several options for Ten Hag this summer.
“They [Manchester United] are looking at the other positions and you’ll have seen reports about Onana and Everton, I’m led to believe he’s on the list, and like many, he’s one of many options they’re considering,” he said,
Onana’s future is up in the air following Everton’s dramatic Premier League survival on the final day of the season. He arrived at Goodison Park last summer from Lille for £33 million.
The 21-year-old impressed in a Toffees side that tackled the risk of relegation throughout the campaign.
He made 35 appearances across competitions, chipping in with three goal contributions.
Reports claim that Onana is keen on departing Sean Dyche’s side. He wants to play at the highest level to strengthen his place in the Belgium squad.
For now, the Belgian appears to be one of many midfield targets with Manchester United concentrating on signing Mason Mount.
They have reportedly made a third bid for the England international in excess of £55 million.
Ornstein has also revealed that they are in for a striker:
“[They] want a midfielder, though as far as we know, they’re focused on the more advanced one in Mason Mount at this point in time and the number nine.”
