Manchester United are expected to be very busy this summer, not only with arrivals but departures as well, and now another £120,000-a-week star looks to be on the Old Trafford chopping block, according to a recent report.
Man Utd eyeing new midfield signing
One player who looks set to leave United at the end of the season is Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen. The Dane is out of contract in the summer, and he recently revealed that he hasn’t heard anything from the club over a new deal.

Man Utd could look to upgrade their midfield

“I haven’t heard anything from the club, and therefore I assume that the collaboration will stop – that’s how I interpret it. I am prepared to find something new. I am fine with that. Where it will be, I haven’t decided yet.”
His departure from Old Trafford means United will likely enter the transfer market for a replacement, and that replacement could be Felix Nmecha. According to Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, the Red Devils are keeping a close eye on the Germany international, who is expected to cost around £42 million.
The Premier League side have yet to hold any form of talks with the player or Borussia Dortmund, but that doesn’t mean a move won’t materialise in the coming weeks and months.
Man Utd set to replace £120k-p/w star as INEOS regret signing
Eriksen is not the only player who could leave United, as according to The Sun, Man United’s Andre Onana looks set to leave the club at the end of the season.
The report states that the Cameroon international is set for a move to Saudi Arabia after he recently changed agents. His potential move at the end of the season now means Amorim and United are looking for replacements and have their eyes on Royal Antwerp’s highly-rated stopper Senne Lammens and Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier.
Onana, who earns £120,000 a week at Old Trafford, has had a really up-and-down campaign at United this season, producing some excellent moments to help out Amorim’s side, but he has also been his own downfall, making costly mistakes throughout the campaign. So much so that reports from Spain have stated that United “regret” signing Onana and have described his time at the club as a ‘nightmare’.

Former Man Utd defender Paul Parker recently labelled Onana as “useless” and doesn’t understand why United let David de Gea leave.
“The problem is probably that the goalkeeper position won’t be a priority for a new signing, as there are so many other issues in other positions that need strengthening.
“I can’t help but think about why the club let David De Gea go. It was a really disgraceful way they parted with him after he was named Player of the Year three times in a row, and right now, it looks even more ridiculous because his replacement is so useless.”
