Andre Onana 'shocked' by Man Utd pay cut and held talks with club management over contract issue

Premier League

Bournemouth

Manchester United

<p>United finished eighth in the Premier League last season, depriving them of a place in Europe's most prestigious club competition this term, though they qualified for the Europa League by winning the FA Cup. As part of the Red Devils' players contracts, Onana and his team-mates saw their salary reduced by 25 per cent this year, a realisation that stunned the goalkeeper, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6279000/2025/04/15/andre-onana-manchester-united-future/?source=twitteruk" target="_blank"><em>The Athletic</em></a> reports, resulting in a conversation with then-sporting director Dan Ashworth. The ex-Ajax and Inter star even <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/saudi-interest-in-andre-onana-active-man-utd-mull-over-error-prone-goalkeeper-future/blt5412dcebebaffcdf" target="_blank">opened talks with Saudi Pro League clubs</a> last summer, but ended up buying a house in Manchester to reiterate his commitment to the club.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The goalkeeper has been under fire for his occasional errors since joining United from Inter as David de Gea's replacement in 2023 and was criticised for his blatant errors in their Champions League games against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray last term. Onana is eyeing a new contract with the Old Trafford club and recently switched agents, teaming up with LIAN Sports after ditching Goal Management. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The 29-year-old's recent <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/andre-onana-out-man-utd-newcastle-granted-time-off-ruben-amorim-lyon-horror-show/blt0b3de87592f77915" target="_blank">blunders saw against Lyon him dropped from Ruben Amorim's starting XI</a> last weekend as they lost 4-1 to Newcastle, and United are said to be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-faith-in-andre-onana-eroding-due-to-goalkeeper-mistakes-summer-sale-set-be-explored/bltf9cc9fa08882214a" target="_blank">exploring the idea of a summer sale after losing faith</a> in him.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Onana could be back in goal as United take on Lyon in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie. The two sides are level at 2-2 on aggregate after the first clash in France.</p>
