Désiré Doué wins UNFP's Ligue 1 Player of the Month award for March
Paris Saint-Germain striker Désiré Doué has taken home the UNFP's Ligue 1 Player of the Month award for March.
With 44% of the votes from visitors to TROPHEESUNFP.COM, the France international finished ahead of AS Monaco's Mika Biereth (38%) and club teammate Ousmane Dembélé (18%), who picked up the award in January. Meanwhile, not only is Doué the third Paris player to earn the distinction this season (following in the footsteps of Les Rouge et Bleu's no. 10 as well as September's winner Bradley Barcola), but this is also the first time that the Angers native, who racked up three goals and two assists in four matches last month, has been named as the Ligue 1 Player of the Month in his career so far.

Furthermore, this is the 51st time that a Paris Saint-Germain player has been crowned with this title since the 2003–2004 season – the most of any team in the French top flight – thereby putting the capital club ahead of Olympique de Marseille (27 times), LOSC Lille (20 times) and Olympique Lyonnais (19 times).

Monaco target André Onana but goalkeeper is keen to stay at Manchester United
Monaco have shortlisted André Onana as a potential signing this summer but the goalkeeper is intent on staying at Manchester United and proving his worth to Ruben Amorim next season. The Ligue 1 club are admirers of the 29-year-old and are also thought to be monitoring Chelsea's Djordje Petrovic. Onana, however, is keen to remain at United despite his patchy form at the club. Advertisement Related: Why Hugo Ekitike is hot property in the summer transfer window Since joining in July 2023 from Inter, the Cameroonian has been an inconsistent performer, making a number of costly errors. Last season Amorim dropped Onana for a 4-1 defeat by Newcastle on 13 April due to his culpability for both Lyon goals in the 2-2 Europa League quarter-final draw in United's previous match. While the head coach reinstated Onana for the return leg, and he played well in the 5-4 win, Amorim may consider recruiting a new first-choice goalkeeper if a viable deal was possible. 'We are going to make that evaluation for any position in the squad,' Amorim said. 'We need to improve. We cannot change all the players. We need to improve every position on the field. Goalkeeper is the same; we can work with André. André Onana already proved he is a top player with Inter. We have some seasons where we are [all] underperforming.' Financial constrictions may require that Onana, who has three years left on his United contract, departs to generate the funds for a new goalkeeper. Altay Bayindir, Onana's understudy, is expected to leave Old Trafford in the next window.
