The fact Roberto De Zerbi \u2013 who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-united\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Man Utd<\/a> admire \u2013 has just signed on at Tottenham also aids Carrick\u2019s cause.<\/p>\n<p>Barring a late-season disaster, Carrick will guide the Red Devils back into the Champions League next year. As is customary with many Man Utd contracts, their players will be paid more in seasons in which they\u2019re in the UCL.<\/p>\n<p>One such star that applies to is<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/andre-onana\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Andre Onana<\/a> who is now an afterthought at United following the sensational debut season of Senne Lammens.<\/p>\n<p>Onana is currently loaned to Turkish side Trabzonspor, though the deal does not contain an option or obligation to buy.<\/p>\n<p>According to the latest from <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-15693945\/man-united-elliot-anderson-tonali-zirkzee.html\" target=\"_blank\">the Daily Mail<\/a>, Onana wants to be given a chance to prove his worth and fight for his place back at Man Utd upon returning at season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>They stated: \u2018Andre Onana\u2019s salary is set for a bump if United return to the Champions League \u2013 which looks likely \u2013 and he wants an opportunity to try and reclaim the No 1 spot.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But with Lammens performing to such a high level thus far and the idea of having a highly-paid and high profile back-up not a palatable one, multiple sources state Man Utd will deny Onana\u2019s request.<\/p>\n<p>talkSPORT and our insider, Graeme Bailey, previously revealed Man Utd have<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-united\/ruthless-man-utd-deny-onana-request-respond-putting-him-up-for-sale\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> no intention of reintegrating Onana into the fold<\/a> once his loan expires.<\/p>\n<p>That has been backed up over the past 48 hours by journalist Mike Keegan, who insisted the 29-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-united\/man-utd-transfers-outrageous-200m-double-deal-four-sales-mooted\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">will not play for Man Utd next season<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The question now is can Man Utd find a permanent buyer, or will they have to settle for another loan?<\/p>\n<p>Given Onana\u2019s wages will increase once UCL football is secured, another loan would not be ideal, with United likely subsidising a hefty portion of the salary depending on where Onana goes.<\/p>\n<p>Onana is contracted to Man Utd until the summer of 2028, meaning another loan next year is viable, albeit not ideal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Want more breaking transfer lines from original sources?
