Man Utd in sensational £50m transfer ‘hijack’, as Ratcliffe closes in on big Ligue 1 capture

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.
