Talks have begun around a possible trade for a player Erik ten Hag loves at Manchester United. Erik ten Hag is conscious that his team needs to perform better in order to move up the Premier League table.

Ins and outs for Manchester United

Manchester United will be prepared for both arrivals and departures during this transfer window as they make plans for the rest of the season and appear to be nearing the end of their list of departures.

According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Jadon Sancho is getting closer to returning to Borussia Dortmund after being barred from playing for the team at Old Trafford for well-established reasons.

Everton and Sevilla are engaged in a transfer scuffle over Tunisian midfielder Hannibal Mejbri. If he moves to one of the teams on loan, the Red Devils would be paid a “seven-figure” amount.

Conversely, according to Football Insider, Manchester United has apparently been offered the chance to sign Eric Choupo-Moting, a striker for Bayern Munich, and initial discussions have been done about perhaps moving the Cameroonian international to Old Trafford. Journalist Dean Jones revealed to GIVEMESPORT that the veteran might be eager to return to England as the Red Devils try to inject more diversity into their final third.

Recent reports have surfaced about a possible trade that may see Manchester United acquire a top target this transfer window in return for a first-team regular who would be heading elsewhere.

Updates on Amadou Onana’s transfer

Football Transfers reports that Manchester United has opened negotiations for Amadou Onana of Everton, a midfield player who was also Ten Hag’s summer goal until he decided to sign Sofyan Amrabat on loan from Fiorentina. That was only because Onana was the boss’s preferred choice, and it came with fees.

According to the article, the Red Devils have enough cash on hand to make one big transfer, but Scott McTominay is highly sought after by Everton, and there’s talk that a swap agreement might be reached provided Financial Fair Play issues are resolved.

Amadou Onana, Premier League of Everton
Onana has made 21 appearances in all competitions this season, with two goals and one assist. Premier League reporter Richard Buxton called him “superb” (Onana statistics – Transfermarkt).

If Manchester United hopes to continue competing for European football, they will need to expand their roster, and Onana would be a spectacular addition to the Old Trafford team.
