Inter chief Andre Onana will not rule out a return to San Siro.
Onana is being investigated after a shaky debut for Manchester United.
The Cameroonian custodian joined Inter on a free transfer and only stayed for a year.
Manchester United’s early-season form has been a source of concern.
Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta has refused to rule out Andre Onana’s probable return from Manchester United.
Onana has been under a lot of pressure since his rough start to his Old Trafford career, after making mistakes against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray in the Champions League, as well as against Brentford in a close 2-1 victory.
The 27-year-old signed a five-year contract to replace David de Gea as United’s long-term number one custodian in a deal for little under £50 million. He hasn’t, however, been the dependable presence in goal that fans had hoped for.
After only a year and a half, Onana was bought on a free transfer by cash-strapped Inter from Dutch giants Ajax. The transfer was a massive financial coup for the club, which used the funds to sign Yann Sommer and Benjamin Pavard from Bayern Munich.
Furthermore, with Onana’s form under investigation, Inter CEO Marotta spoke with Gazzetta dello Sport (via Daily Mail) about a probable return to San Siro: “In football, anything can happen, but I can’t predict the future.” It was unquestionably a fantastic phase for both Onana and us.
“It was also a successful deal to sign him for free and sell for that money.”
Early in the season, Onana’s difficulties dominated the headlines, and his poor performances contributed to United’s overall poor result. Erik ten Hag’s side has already lost four Premier League games and zero points in two Champions League fixtures. Scott McTominay’s brace in stoppage time saved them against Brentford.
Peter Schmeichel, the famous United goalie, recently revealed that he has been consulting with Onana and outlined the advice he has given on how to move past mistakes.
“I’m trying to speak to him about what it’s like to be at Manchester United, what you have to take,” the Dane said.
“You must put whatever you’ve prepared in a box and set it aside right away.” You make a mistake during a game; it could be something we notice or something completely different, but you don’t analyse or think about it until after the game, at night, or at another time. If you are not present for the next moment, you will commit the following error.
And now he’s got the whole team worked up. It’s not good, my God, that they’re not going to trust him even more now.”
