Manchester United star Andre Onana buys £3.5m mansion to drop major hint on future plans

Andre Onana has dropped the biggest hint yet about his future after his latest purchase.

In July 2023, Andre Onana joined Manchester United from Inter Milan in a £47.5 million deal.

The 29-year-old has faced a tough second season at Old Trafford, despite showing promise at the beginning of the campaign.

Onana, who is under contract with United until 2028, has played in 45 matches across all competitions this season.

After being subject to criticism after United’s 2-2 draw against Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals, Ruben Amorim publicly backed Onana and is set to stick with his first-choice goalkeeper for the remainder of the season despite competition from Altay Bayindir.

Moreover, United teammate Harry Maguire offered his support for Onana as a player who knows what it takes to bounce back from difficult periods.

Onana has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia ahead of the transfer window, but the Cameroon international has dropped the biggest hint yet that he is staying at Old Trafford.

Onana has played for a range of big clubs in the past, including Ajax and Inter Milan, so he will want to build a legacy before leaving United.

United in Focus can exclusively reveal that Onana has bought a luxury property near Altrincham in Hale Barns, Greater Manchester.

Onana’s four-bed mansion includes a cinema, gym, basketball court and tennis court.

Friends and family can also gather around the heated pool and an outdoor chill-out area.

Onana had been living in the house before making the decision to buy it.

Peter Schmeichel slams Andre Onana critics

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel insists critics are ‘very wrong’ for singling out Onana.

It has been a turbulent season for United, sitting in the bottom half of the Premier League, and it would be harsh to point the finger of blame at one player.

Schmeichel has jumped to Onana’s defence when he was asked about the goalkeeper’s recent form.

“Just look where Manchester United are in the Premier League,” Schmeichel told talkSPORT. “The players are not having the greatest time.

“I try to explain this to people, why is it different playing for Manchester United as opposed to any other club?

“I showed this to my wife the other day. We have a broadsheet newspaper in Denmark that doesn’t have a sports section, but they still carry Manchester United’s results and not just a little line but in an article.

“If you’re any other club, or most other clubs, you don’t have that. You don’t have all the fringe, non-sporting papers reporting on your games and that is where the pressure is.

“Every single thing you do in a game of football will be reported everywhere in the world. For instance, as a goalkeeper, if you make a mistake, everybody in the world will be talking about that mistake.

“If you make a mistake for so many other clubs in the Premier League, they might just be in the newspaper the next day. But you’re not going to talk about it tomorrow or the day after.

“That is where the mental toughness of being a Manchester United player comes in.

“It’s been a difficult year, it’s been a difficult year for everyone, so singling out anyone, I think that would be very, very wrong.”

Onana will be back in action when United travel to Bournemouth on Sunday.
