- Andre Onana could miss up to five games for Man United while with Cameroon
- The keeper has made an indifferent start to life at the club since summer move
- Sir Jim Ratcliffe should target Thomas Tuchel, he’s got unfinished business – It’s All Kicking Off
Andre Onana’s Manchester United place could be in danger with Erik ten Hag looking to bring in a new goalkeeper this month, according to a report.
The Cameroon international has had a difficult start to life at Old Trafford, making a number of errors since replacing David De Gea following his £47.1million move from Inter Milan in the summer.
He is currently playing at the African Cup of Nations, having missed his side’s opening game after staying back to play for United in their FA Cup tie at Wigan and Premier League match against Manchester United.
And the 27-year-old’s spot as United’s No 1 could now be under threat, with the club said to be looking at bringing in a new goalkeeper while Onana is away with his national team.
According to Quotidiano Sport, Ten Hag is interested in signing Lazio man Ivan Provedel before the month is out.

He is said to be monitoring Lazio’s Ivan Provedel, who is ‘unhappy with his contract situation’
Provedel is said to be looking for an improved contract at Lazio, with the 29-year-old unhappy with his current terms a the Italian side.
He has started every Serie A game for Maurizio Sarri’s side this season, with the club currently in sixth place in the league table, just one point off the Champions League places.
In total, he has made 72 appearances for the club since joining last summer from Spezia, having so far spent his entire career in his native Italy, and even scored for his new side in the Champion League at the start of this season.
United aren’t thought to fully trust back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, who is set to at least in the immediate future deputise for Onana during AFCON….
