Onana future in question after push for improved United contract

His demands followed the standard 25 per cent wage reduction triggered by the club's failure to qualify for the Champions League.

The stance is understood to have frustrated manager Ruben Amorim, though Manchester United made no attempt to move the Cameroonian on during the transfer window. Despite the disagreement, the club remain intent on keeping him as their number one.

Monaco were the only side to register serious interest in the 29-year-old, but talks quickly stalled once United made clear he would not be sold for less than £30 million. The Ligue 1 outfit opted not to pursue a deal at that price.

Onana is therefore set to continue at Old Trafford, though questions remain over his long-term future if contract negotiations fail to progress. For now, United appear determined to hold firm, even as tensions between player and manager linger.
