Manchester United are reportedly lining up a potential move for AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan as a replacement in case Andre Onana leaves.
The Red Devils only brought Onana in last season and although the Cameroon international had a poor start to life at Old Trafford, he is now showing some signs of improvement this season.
However, it may be that new Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim sees this as a position where the team could improve, with files linking Onana with a possible move to a Saudi Pro League club.

Another report from files now claim this Milan striker Maignan he could be the ‘keeper targeted to step in as United’s new number one’.
The French international is arguably one of the best goalkeepers in Europe on his day, so he could end up being a better option than Onana in the long run.
The transfer of Mike Maignan could be good business for Manchester United
One imagines Milan won’t be keen to sell a key player like Maignan, but a possible upside for United here is that the 29-year-old will be out of contract at the San Siro in the summer of 2026.
This means that if he does not agree a new deal in the coming months, next summer could be the last chance for the Rossoneri to make significant money from his sale.
MUFC will no doubt be hoping to capitalize on this if Onana ends up leaving, with Maignan looking like a huge opportunity on the market.
There could be other top-flight clubs joining the race for Maignan’s signature soon if his situation does not change, as most of Europe’s big names would surely be tempted to snap up the Frenchman if he is available at low cost, or with a free transfer the following year.
