Amorim

Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim reportedly believes that a “very good” goalkeeper this summer is his lead goal at that position, not Emiliano Martinez.

Who will replace Andre Onana in Man Utd?

Andre Onana’s performance last season undoubtedly played a role in the Red Devils’ struggle in the Premier League, and the Cameroonians often proved to be disturbing figures between sticks.

If Onana scored a goal in the opening game of the 2025/26 campaign – by then he might have even sold it – it would be a surprise that he replaced him at Manchester United in the next few years.

Villa and Argentine star Martinez can be said to talk more than anyone about the Red Devils, and the 32-year-old is a huge character who proves himself on the biggest stage, helping his country beat France in the 2022 World Cup final.

Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier is also mentioned at times, while Everton and England ace Ace Jordan Pickford are scattered but now another name seems to be the top of Manchester United’s roster of options.

Amorim hopes Man Utd signs “very good” goalkeeper

According to journalist Sousa Pinto xManchester United boss Amorim hopes to sign Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa this summer.

“As I have reported in recent weeks, Diogo Costa is still taking over the Man United roster. Courage may be a stumbling block for the Red Devils. He has been a favorite of Ruben Amorim since January, but if there are more options on the Onana leaves on the table.”

The £63 million Costa Rica may still be only 25 years old, which is young for the goalkeeper, but he already feels like a experienced player at the club and international level, making him a strong choice for Manchester United.

Now he has won 36 hats for Portugal, helping them win the UEFA European League this month and will likely make it to the 2026 World Cup football match, their first choice between the sticks. He also participated in 197 appearances in Porto, when 83 clean sheets were kept.

Costa Rica will be an upgrade to Onana, a talented plug, but he has too many mistakes, the former being more consistent in Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s role praising him, he said to him: “I’m not here to rate their players, but he’s definitely good. He’s been at this level for a few years.”

At 25, Costa Rica might be the solution for United in terms of goals for the next decade, and the fact that Amorim wants him to have more than anyone would like to be a reason to impose a punt on him and trust his boss.
