Manchester United are interested in signing Amadou Onana from Premier League rivals Aston Villa in the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. However, according to the report, Villa manager Unai Emery is not willing to part company with the defensive midfielder.
Journalist Pete O’Rourke said: “We know the central midfield position is going to be a priority for Man United this summer.
“Casemiro is leaving at the end of season. There’s doubts over Ugarte’s future as well.
“So look, they’re going to need strengthening in that midfield position.
“Onana is a player that they’ve had previous interest in. So I think it’s one of those where he probably still remains on the list, but he’s probably not at the top of it.
“We know all the other names that they’ve been linked with, the likes of Carlos Baleaba, Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson. I think they would all figure above Onana as well.
“And as I said, I don’t think Villa would be very keen on losing or not as well.”
