According to reports, the Red Devils are interested in signing the central midfield player.
After a miserable start to the 2023–24 season, Manchester United has to improve going into the second half of the season.
The Red Devils have dropped nine of their first 20 games in the Premier League, placing them nine points outside of the top four. They are presently ranked eighth in the league table.
With just one victory in six games, Erik ten Hag’s team also finished last in their Champions League group and will not be participating in any European knockout football in the upcoming months.
The team has an opportunity to instill hope in the supporters as the January transfer window officially began for business last week.
A strong addition or two to the team might lift the spirits at Old Trafford and raise the likelihood of a victorious season finale.
Manchester United transfer news – Amadou Onana
It seems like Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team are working hard to achieve that goal, since it has been rumored that the team is trying to recruit Everton striker Amadou Onana.According to FootballTransfers, United and the Toffees have started negotiations in an attempt to reach an agreement that would allow the central midfielder to move to Manchester this month.Ten Hag reportedly saw Onana as a target during the summer transfer window, but the Red Devils lacked the financial resources to sign him. 
As a result, Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina was given a loan arrangement.FootballTransfers notes that any other transactions at this time would probably be loans, but that United can now use the money to add one big player to their roster.
The Premier League’s biggest teams reportedly value the young player’s adaptability and ability to play at number six, which is why they are currently in negotiations with Everton to sign him.The Belgium international is reportedly being targeted by fellow Premier League team Arsenal, according to Football Insider, and the Toffees are expected to seek a sum of £60 million for his services.Due of Onana’s better skill in the middle of the park, United could be able to send Scott McTominay packing if they can negotiate a deal for him before the Gunners.The Scotland international is a top transfer target for Sean Dyche’s club, according to FootballTransfers’ report on the Everton star.
Since Dyche is looking for players with Premier League experience and the Toffees have been interested in the United academy graduate for some time, the team may decide to move McTominay this month.Ten Hag might sign Onana before approving the Scottish powerhouse’s exit, which would help both teams with FFP constraints, according to the article.
