Manchester United have attempted to disrupt Aston Villa’s move for Amadou Onana, while Sir Jim Ratcliffe is moving closer to signing No 3.
Since joining Everton from Lille in August 2022, Onana has regularly been linked with a big move away from Goodison Park. Indeed, Arsenal, Man Utd and Barcelona are just some of the major clubs who have taken a look at the central midfielder.
But it recently emerged that Aston Villa have struck a £50million agreement with Everton as Unai Emery’s side push to win the race for Onana.
The Belgian is very keen on making the move a reality as it would give him the opportunity to shine in the Champions League after Aston Villa finished fourth in the Premier League last season.
After it was revealed that Villa had agreed terms for Onana’s potential signing, the Villans were expected to proceed quickly and finalise the deal.
But that has yet to happen, and this has led to an attempted ‘hijack’ from Man Utd. As per Belgian reporter Sacha Tavolieri, Man Utd have thundered in with a ‘last-minute’ bid for Onana.
