Big changes might loom for Manchester United as they prepare to ramp up efforts to secure goalkeeper Mike Maignan, amid mounting scrutiny of current custodian Andre Onana.

Just months after acquiring Onana as a replacement for the iconic David De Gea, it seems the Red Devils could be on the verge of another switch. The pressure on Onana has escalated, prompting speculation about the need for a more reliable option between the posts.

Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently dropped a major bombshell, revealing that Chelsea is initiating their pursuit of Maignan as a potential substitute for Robert Sanchez—a move that could force United to act swiftly.

Maignan, ranked third on FourFourTwo's prestigious list of the world’s best goalkeepers, remains without a new contract at AC Milan, sending shockwaves through the football community. His situation has other clubs, including United, on high alert for a possible transfer.

Calciomercato has reported that United were waiting for a crucial 'signal' from Milan to jump into negotiations for the French international. Now, with Chelsea's interest confirmed, it appears that the time for United to seize the moment has come.

With Maignan's contract due to expire next year, the prospect of a cut-price deal makes him an attractive target for the Premier League giants. However, time is of the essence; the club must navigate profitability and sustainability regulations to fund such a significant acquisition.

Additionally, reports suggest that there may be interest from Saudi Arabia in Onana, which could open the door for United to finalize a deal for Maignan sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, the club aims to generate revenue by offloading players like Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, enhancing their chances of landing this highly sought-after goalkeeper.

In a league where every moment counts, will Manchester United act decisively to bring in the talent they desperately need?
