JAKARTA - Manchester United's good opportunity is to win Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. However, MU is still waiting for goalkeeper Andre Onana. If Onana leaves, MU will only hunt down Donnarumma even though there are other conditions. What is that?

Donnarumma comes, the goalkeeping sector problem can at least be solved. The reason is, Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers in the world for now.

The Italian national team goalkeeper played a big role in leading PSG to the treble 2025 season. However, it is not a guarantee that Donnarumma will get a new contract at PSG. On the other hand, this elite Ligue 1 French club actually wants to kick him out.

With his contract still one year away, PSG is not planning to renew Donnarumma's contract. Because the demand for a relatively high raise in salary makes negotiations always meet a deadlock.

PSG itself immediately looked for an alternative to Donnarumma. As a result, Les Parisiens successfully brought Lucas Chevalier from Lille who immediately replaced Donnarumma as the first.

The signal for the departure of the 26-year-old goalkeeper became stronger after coach Luis Enrique dropped him from the squad when PSG faced Tottenham Hotspur at the UEFA Super Cup, Thursday, August 14, 2025 in the morning WIB. Meanwhile, Chevalier is definitely the first choice under the bar.

Donnarumma's absence in the UEFA Super Cup match further emphasized that PSG wanted to immediately release the goalkeeper. This is certainly MU's opportunity to take important steps to clean up the goalkeeper sector.

Even though he once brought Donnarumma when he was still in Milan, United did not immediately negotiate with PSG. According to the Express, MU is waiting for Onana whether he wants to leave or not.

If this Cameroonian national team goalkeeper leaves to join other clubs, United has just started the movement to hunt down Donnarumma.

Onana often makes blunders and the goal is conceded more often. In the aftermath, MU lost more and closed the competition by occupying the bottom board. In the aftermath, manager Ruben Amorim wants to find a goalkeeper to replace Onana.

An irony is that a rich club like MU with a myriad of achievements that can be said to match the achievements of the legendary English Premier League club, Liverpool, almost relegated last season.

Even during the Europa League final match against Tottenham, Onana was still the blunder that resulted in the goal conceded and MU losing 1-0. The defeat that dashed MU's hopes of competing in the Champions League.

On the other hand, MU can recruit Donnarumma if any players are successfully sold. Currently MU has not been able to sell a single player.

Most recently, only Marcus Rashford was loaned to Barcelona. Meanwhile, another player like Christian Eriksen was released because his contract was over.

MU itself still has stock of players who have not been sold, including Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho andaturah Malacia. Although a number of clubs have been eyeing it, there is no continuation of their recruitment plan.

Then why does manager Ruben Amorim still maintain Onana even though he is one of the causes of MU's failure?

MU actually needs a total overhaul in order to regain glory like a few decades ago. But Amorim chose to fix the center and front sectors which were no less severe than Onana.

Yes, MU has absolutely no reliable goal machines. After the end of the era of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney, the Red Devils seemed to have no centre forward with predator instincts in the penalty box. Neither Rasmus Hojlund nor Joshua Zirkzee had a killer mentality so they experienced infertility.

Benjamin Sesko's presence after failing to get Viktor Gyokeres was expected by MU to have a mainstay goal engine. In addition, MU recruited Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to increase the strength of the bang.

However, both of them can also play in the middle so that the ambition to improve the sector can be achieved with their presence.

The back sector? Amorism seems forced to rely on Onana and Altay Bayindir. The real atmosphere still wants to get the goalkeeper by targeting Emiliano Martinez.

However, MU failed to reach an agreement with Aston Villa for the transfer of the Argentina national team goalkeeper. This shows that the real atmosphere wants to replace Onana. It's just that hope has not been conveyed if no players are sold.
