38 Former Liverpool defender turned pundit Jamie Carragher has warned Manchester United – as well as other interested clubs – to avoid signing Everton midfielder Amadou Onana this summer.
United have been linked with Amadou Onana and his Everton team-mate Jarrad Branthwaite, who Carragher happens to rate highly.
Reflecting on Chelsea’s 6-0 win over Everton on Monday night, Carragher slammed Onana. He told Sky Sports, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News: “He [Sean Dyche] picked out a couple of players he brought off at half time. He mentioned the central midfield players.
“I actually think James Garner has done a good job for Sean Dyche since he’s been there. But I must say this, Onana is a player who Everton may have to sell with the situation that they find themselves in financially.
“He came in with a huge reputation. Frank Lampard brought him in, he looks the part, did really well I think for Belgium at Wembley and there was talk of him going to other big clubs.
“I don’t see it. I haven’t since he’s been there.
“I don’t know what he is. Is he a holding midfield player? Does he get forward? Does he get involved? The only thing I have seen him do is try to lift the crowd, that is all I ever see him do when he plays for Everton.”
United need to replace Casemiro
Casemiro’s days at Old Trafford appear to be numbered. We have seen his performance levels dip significantly this season, with the former Real Madrid star going from being a key influence on the team to becoming a liability.
Beyond Casemiro, United are light in the defensive midfield area of the pitch.
The club needs to prioritise a replacement for Casemiro.
Casemiro has been linked with moves to Saudi Arabia.
