Failure to qualify for the Champions League meant several players received a 25% pay cut, something that reportedly left Onana, 29, stunned.

According to The Athletic, Onana and his representatives went to have a conversation with then-sporting director Dan Ashworth regarding the matter.

The goalkeeper even open talks with several Saudi Arabian clubs but ultimately decided to stay in Manchester having just bought a house in the area.
