Man United Wage Dilemma Over Onana's Return

Manchester United face a potential wage crisis with goalkeeper Andre Onana as the club's improved form could trigger a significant salary increase, sources have told ESPN. Onana joined Trabzonspor on a season-long loan in September after United missed European qualification, which led to a substantial reduction in his wages.

With Michael Carrick's team now third in the Premier League and on track for Champions League football, Onana's salary is set to return to its original level. This development complicates United's plans to move the Cameroon international this summer, as sources indicate the wage increase could deter potential suitors. The 29-year-old still has two years remaining on the contract he signed from Inter Milan in 2023.

United have been impressed with Senne Lammens since his arrival from Royal Antwerp and expect him to remain the first-choice goalkeeper next season. The club is also considering signing another keeper to replace Altay Bayindir, who attracted interest from Besiktas in January. Onana's representatives are anticipating talks with United before the end of May, while sources close to the player suggest he prefers to fight for his place in pre-season training.
