It is previously been suggested that Man Utd want to keep David de Gea in the squad and sign a new shot-stopper to create competition for the first-team place.
So, they offered a new contract to the Spaniard with a reduced salary proposal from his current £375,000-a-week wage ,
it has been reported that the 32-year-old opted to accept the offer but their is a twist in the story.
However, United reportedly backtracked from that deal and decided not to finalise it.
United have submitted a new contract proposal with an even lower salary package but De Gea hasn’t signed the renewal yet.
With the current contract set to expire at the end of this month, it is increasingly likely that he will move away for free.
If De Gea leaves then United will need to sign a replacement for him and it appears they have Onana as the primary target .
As per the report by Gazzetta dello Sport,
Man Utd are set to open formal talks with Inter to sign the Cameroonian soon.
The report further claims that Ten Hag want his new goalkeeper in his pre-season training,
United are looking to wrap up this deal as quickly as possible and they could purchase the 27-year-old .
It has previously been suggested that Inter want £43m to sell their star man ,
United are ready to match the Serie A giant’s valuation and get the keeper.
So, it seems Man Utd are edging closer to securing a deal for the Inter star.
Onana as the new goalkeeper for Man Utd
Onana is an extremely talented goalkeeper and would certainly be an excellent acquisition ,
Ten Hag implement his preferred possession-based style of football at Man Utd.
The 27-year-old is good in the air, comfortable playing out from the back,
He is an excellent shot-stopper and is also efficient in the sweeper-keeper role.
It is going to be interesting to see whether united eventually manage to acquire his service in this transfer window.
