MANCHESTER UNITED manager Ruben Amorim is willing to loan Andre Onana and find a new No 1.
The Red Devils keeper’s salary is so high it has been difficult to sell him after a poor season so the door is open to a temporary switch.

United are waiting for approaches this summer and would prefer a European club to come in rather than a Premier League rival.
Ligue 1 Monaco have asked the question but even with their wealth it would still be a stretch to pay the Cameroonian’s wages.
Now a replacement for Onana, 29, is being worked on with Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez, 32, a top target — but he would cost a big fee.
The shot-stopper, who wants to stay and fight for his place, has amassed a total of 101 appearances with United since his £47million move from Inter Milan in 2023.
Onana, whose deal runs until 2028, counts 24 clean sheets and has conceded 148 goals during his two-year spell in Manchester.
Botafogo’s John Victor is another option after catching the eye at the Fifa Club World Cup.
The Red Devils were watching the Brazilian, 29, last summer but have yet to commit.
However, he is open to any club in England and available at a bargain £6million.

Another potential recruit is 25-year-old Portugal international Diogo Costa, who has a £64million release clause in his Porto contract.
Costa seems set to leave his homeland during this window and has ‘dreams’ of playing in the Premier League.
Recent developments suggest that Porto are also on the hunt for a new goalkeeper, which boosts United’s chances of securing him.
Cruz Azul No 1 Kevin Mier, is on Porto‘s shortlist and has been prioritised by club president and former Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas.
Meanwhile, Real Betis also appear ready to receive a significant cash injection, potentially boosting their ability to afford United flop Antony.
The Spanish side, who lost the Uefa Conference League final to Chelsea, are set to bag a £26m windfall with midfielder Johnny Cardoso on the brink of joining LaLiga rivals Atletico Madrid.
