Man United target Onana from Aston Villa

Manchester United are monitoring Aston Villa midfielder Amadou Onana ahead of the summer transfer window as they look to reinforce their engine room for next season.

The Premier League giants have identified the Belgium international as a key option to add power and defensive balance, with internal discussions taking place in recent days. United’s interest comes amid plans to reshape the squad after an inconsistent campaign.

“Onana fits the profile we want in midfield,” a source close to the situation said.

A former United player noted, “He brings physicality and composure, something they’ve lacked at times.”

Villa are reluctant to lose the 22-year-old, who has been a regular starter and averaged strong defensive numbers this term. Any move would likely require a significant offer to tempt the Birmingham club into negotiations.
