Manchester United will have to pay £60 million to sign Amadou Onana

Everton are reportedly interested in selling Amadou Onana at the end of the season, with Manchester United keen on signing him.

According to a report from Football Insider, Manchester United are interested in signing Amadou Onana, who completed a £33 million move to Goodison Park last summer. The 21-year-old has impressed with his performances in the Premier League this season, and his value has increased by £27 million.

Apparently, Everton are now prepared to sell him for a fee of around £60 million. And they will use the proceeds from this transfer to bring in their own signings. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can agree on a deal with their Premier League rivals for the highly talented midfielder. The player has been linked with Chelsea in the past.

It is no secret that Manchester United need to add more quality to their midfield, and the 21-year-old Belgian international would be a superb long-term investment. He will add physicality and defensive cover to the Manchester United midfield, and he seems like the ideal partner for Casemiro in theory.

The Brazilian international has done quite well since his move from Real Madrid. But he needs more help in the middle of the park. Signing a quality midfielder should be a top priority for Manchester United.

Onana is now used to the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact at Old Trafford. The Belgian has all the tools to develop into a top-class Premier League midfielder. And playing for a big club like Manchester United could accelerate his development.

Furthermore, Erik ten Hag has done well to nurture talented young players throughout his managerial career. So the Dutchman could help the 21-year-old improve further. The reported £60 million asking price is certainly affordable for a club with Manchester United’s resources. But it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils can get a deal done.

Manchester United have won the League Cup this season, and they will be hoping to challenge for major trophies next year. They must look to improve their squad adequately in order to compete with clubs like Manchester City. The opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the country will be a tempting option for the young midfielder as well.
