Manchester United have found a replacement for Andre Onana. He is seeking to recruit Luca Chubali (Lille).

Team Talk, a British media outlet, said on the 15th (Korean time) 'Manchester United has selected Onana's successor. We are strongly considering recruiting Schvalier,' the report said.

Manchester United, led by head coach Ruben Amorim, is in a crisis. He remains in 14th place with nine wins, seven draws and 12 losses (34 points) in 28 matches in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season. He was eliminated in the quarterfinals at the Carabao Cup and the round of 16 at the FA Cup. At least, he took a breather by reaching the quarterfinals in the Europa League. Manchester United drew 1-1 in the away game of the first round of the round of 16 against Real Sociedad. However, they won the second game at home by a score of 4 to 1. They reached the quarterfinals with a combined 5-2 victory in the first and second games.




Manchester United is expected to undergo a major reorganization in the new season. Goalkeeper position is no exception. Team Talk added 'Manchester United hired Onana two years ago. However, it seems that his replacement has been decided regardless of the rest of the season. The player Manchester United is paying attention to is Schvalier.

Onana wore United's jersey through the summer 2023 transfer window. United have invested £47m to sign Onana. There was also shocking news. England's football fancast was originally signed by Thibaut Courtois, the main keeper of Real Madrid. However, coach Erik ten Haach said at the time that Onana was more appropriate to take over the goal.

Shuvalier, born in 2001, who was watched by Manchester United, made his first-team debut in Lille's uniform in 2020. He has been playing as a key player in the team since his loan from Valancien (France) in the 2021-2022 season. He has already played 25 French league games this season. In particular, he recently made a fierce defense in the round of 16 of the European Champions League (UCL) against Dortmund in the 2024-2025 season. Citing another media outlet, Give Me Sports, Team Talk reported that "'Manchester United is closely chasing Chvalier. Amorim is more optimistic about signing after learning about the conditions for a possible summer contract.'"




Schvalier is known to be interested not only in Manchester United, but also in FC Barcelona, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Newcastle.
