Ineos don’t want “exceptional” United star to be part of Carrick’s squad, prepared to sign his replacement – report

Michael Carrick is reportedly in line to be handed the permanent head coach role at Manchester United. This appointment is far from high-profile, but it has previously been reported that there is a feeling internally at United that “getting this summer’s recruitment drive right is even more important than the appointment of the next head coach.” Ahead of the summer, the United hierarchy have already made a major transfer decision. Manchester United want to get rid of Andre Onana According to ESPN, Manchester United are open to signing a goalkeeper this summer as they are aware that they need a strong squad ahead of their return to the Champions League. It is believed that United are not planning to include Andre Onana in their squad next season. Erik ten Hag’s marquee signing arrived from Inter Milan in a £43.8 million deal after impressing in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola even labelled him as an “exceptional” ball-playing goalkeeper. However, Ruben Amorim shipped him out on loan to Trabzonspor after a horrific 2024/25 campaign. In comparison, Onana has had a positive season in Turkey. It is claimed the Cameroon shot-stopper was hopeful of returning to United to compete with the side’s new undisputed number one Senne Lammens ahead of next season. However, he is not in the club’s plans. “Work is set to start to find suitors for Onana, who is under contract at Old Trafford until 2028,” the report adds. Altay Bayindir likely to return to Turkey Current No. 2 Altay Bayindir is also expected to depart, having attracted interest from the Süper Lig. Bayindir started the season as Amorim’s first-choice goalkeeper, but the Turkish star has not featured for United under Carrick. Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Bayindir has reached an agreement in principle to join Besiktas this summer.
