With Manchester United yet to find an agreement with David De Gea over a renewal, there is a strong chance the Spaniard leaves Old Trafford in the coming days.
That’s why the Red Devils have been linked with a lot of goalkeepers in the past few weeks, with André Onana one of them.
Gazzetta dello Sport have an article on the situation on Wednesday, and are adamant that Erik ten Hag wants the Cameroon international at Manchester United.
At this time of the years, ‘the phones keep ringing’ and few are vibrating as much as the one owned by the Inter Milan shot stopper.
The newspaper explain that a number ‘frequently’ appears on his screen, and that’s Ten Hag’s, who managed him at Ajax Amsterdam.
It’s said the Dutch manager ‘has called his former protégé’, as old friends would, but this time ‘a new scenario has opened up for the future of both’.
Should they fail to renew David De Gea, then Manchester United ‘would go knocking on Inter’s door’ at the recommendation of Ten Hag.
Yes, Chelsea have been after him as well, but Mauricio Pochettino seems to be focusing his attention on other areas of the pitch for now, leaving the door open for their Mancunian counterparts, who ‘will try to close’ a deal.
Manchester United are ‘thinking of an offer of around €40m’, but Inter ‘would at least €10m more’, and while ‘we have not yet passed from words to deeds’, they are simply waiting to see what happens with De Gea ‘to move decisively’.
