Manchester United and INEOS regret signing an Old Trafford “imposter” and want him sold alongside Andre Onana, according to a new report.
Andre Onana ‘unsettled’ at Man Utd and set to be sold
The Red Devils and Sir Jim Ratcliffe announced plans for a brand new 100,000-capacity stadium earlier this month, however, prior to that, the co-owner hit out at recent signings by the club.
Ratcliffe said: “If you look at the players we are buying this summer, that we didn’t buy, we’re buying Antony, we’re buying Casemiro, we’re buying Onana, we’re buying Hojlund, we’re buying Sancho. These are all things from the past, whether we like it or not, we’ve inherited those things and have to sort that out.”
He added: “Some are not good enough and some probably are overpaid, but for us to mould the squad that we are fully responsible for, and accountable for, will take time.”

In regards to Onana, it has been claimed that Man Utd regret signing the goalkeeper, who is unsettled and has been for some time at Old Trafford.
The Cameroon international, who has been a regular under Ruben Amorim, is wanted in Saudi Arabia and looks set to be sold over the coming months. However, the club are also kicking themselves at a more recent addition who could follow Onana out of Manchester.
Man Utd also regret signing Joshua Zirkzee and want him gone
According to a report from Spain, Man Utd regret signing Joshua Zirkzee and already want him out of Old Trafford.
The forward, who signed for just over £36m from Bologna last summer and was the first addition under Ratcliffe, has struggled to make an impact in England, scoring just six goals in 44 games, something which has raised doubts for United’s coaching team and staff.
The report adds on Zirkzee that the ‘possibility of a sale is already being considered from the boardroom if an offer comes in that allows for a partial recovery of the investment made’.
Talking earlier this year, pundit Jamie O’Hara slammed the Red Devils and singled out Zirkzee for criticism, calling the forward an “imposter” and “one of the worst players” he’s seen for Man Utd.

“Manchester United are absolutely terrible – they’re one of the worst teams in the Premier League at the moment. They’re awful at the back and their midfield is non-existent. Their options in attack are terrible as well – Amad Diallo is the only player who looks like he deserves to play for them.
“Joshua Zirkzee is one of the worst players I’ve ever seen in a Manchester United shirt – it’s unbelievable that he’s playing for them. He’s an absolute imposter!”
