Goalkeeper Changes Loom with United Tracking Serie A Stopper
Monaco Circle Onana as United Monitor Carnesecchi Goalkeeping Carousel in Motion As reported by DiMarzio, Monaco have made an enquiry for Manchester United's André Onana. While such a move might seem speculative from the Ligue 1 side, it may set in motion a more intriguing shift in the European goalkeeping landscape. Onana, once heralded as a transformational presence for United, has endured a turbulent time in Manchester. 'The 29-year-old goalkeeper owned by Manchester United' started 50 matches last season but was never far from the critics' gaze. Advertisement Ten Hag and his successor Ruben Amorim kept faith with the former Inter man, but results, especially the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham, continue to cast shadows. Photo IMAGO Red Devils' Italian Focus Should Onana depart Old Trafford, United's reported interest turns to Atalanta's Marco Carnesecchi, a name long admired in Serie A circles. As DiMarzio notes, 'the profile that Ruben Amorim's team likes the most is that of Marco Carnesecchi.' The 23-year-old has had a breakout season, featuring 44 times and notching up 18 clean sheets, guiding Atalanta to an impressive third-place finish and another shot at Champions League football. Advertisement Contacts have been made with the player's agent but not yet with Atalanta, 'who would hardly be able to let him go unless there were truly satisfactory offers.' Atalanta hold a strong position and know the value of a consistent performer in his prime. Spotlight on Carnesecchi Carnesecchi is no longer simply a 'keeper with potential. With Europe watching, the young Italian made headlines off the pitch too: 'while England is watching him with interest, the Atalanta goalkeeper got married today, Friday 20 June.' It's a moment of personal joy amidst serious professional intrigue. Changing of the Guard? Monaco's move for Onana may fizzle out, but the ripples could be felt far wider. United, no strangers to headline-grabbing transfers, may soon look to reset their backline, and Carnesecchi could be the man they believe in next. Our View – EPL Index If this move materialises, United fans can be genuinely excited. Onana has had his moments, sure, but consistency wasn't one of them. Too many lapses in judgement, erratic decisions, and questionable distribution left the fanbase wondering if the club got it right last summer. Advertisement Carnesecchi? He's got pedigree, presence, and promise. Eighteen clean sheets in a Serie A season tells its own story. He's not just a shot-stopper, he commands the box. United haven't had a presence like that since the prime David De Gea years. Of course, fans will be cautious. Atalanta won't budge easily. But if Onana does go to Monaco, which seems possible now that 'Monaco have made an enquiry,' then this is a rare chance for a smart bit of business. It's about more than talent now — it's about mentality and leadership. Carnesecchi looks to have both, and fans will rightly be optimistic that United, after some erratic years in the transfer market, are finally targeting stability in the right way.

Man Utd begin talks to sign Marco Carnesecchi after Andre Onana approach
Manchester United have begun initial talks to sign Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi after receiving interest from Monaco for Andre Onana, according to reports. Onana's future at Old Trafford is in doubt after two unconvincing seasons with United following his £47.2 million move from Inter in 2023. The Cameroon international also refused to rule out the prospect of leaving United this summer. 'Will I leave? I don't know, we'll see,' Onana replied when asked about his future at a charity event held in Burkina Faso last week. According to Sky Sport Italy, Monaco have now made an enquiry to United over Onana's availability. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter.

Monaco secured Champions League football for next season after finishing third in Ligue 1, while their general manager, Thiago Scuro, has admitted that signing a new goalkeeper is one of the club's priorities for the summer transfer window. 'We're keeping an eye on the market,' Scuro told La Gazette de Monaco last month. 'Obviously, we've discussed the position of goalkeeper internally, because we know that it was one of our problems this season. 'Our goalkeepers, despite their human and footballing qualities, have made mistakes that are not allowed at our level, so we'll have to start looking for a new keeper.' United, meanwhile, have already considering the prospect of replacing Onana this summer and talks have been held with Carnesecchi's agent, although no approach has been made to Atalanta. Carnesecchi extended his contract with Atalanta earlier this year which runs until 2028 and it's understood that the Italian club, who finished third in Serie A last season, would demand a €50m (£42.7m) fee for the 24-year-old. Speaking earlier this year, Gian Piero Gasperini, who left Atalanta after nine years to become Roma's head coach earlier this month, praised Carnesecchi for his development. 'He is providing extraordinary performances with some decisive saves,' Gasperini said. More Trending 'He is a goalkeeper who has become important, he is always ready, he has certainly been decisive in these last matches. 'He will still improve in his game with his feet, but he has all the numbers.' Carnesecchi has made 76 first-team appearances for Atalanta but is yet to make his senior debut for Italy's national side, although he was in the squad for their two World Cup qualifiers earlier this month. United have also held talks to sign Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, and it's understood that the World Cup winner is open to a move to Ruben Amorim's side.
