United have had David de Gea as their first-choice goalkeeper since the summer of 2011, but this could be about to change. De Gea is a free agent after his contract expired on Friday night. United have not closed the door for an extension, but he may not be the number one shot-stopper next season amid their interest in signing Onana.
The Cameroonian star was brilliant in his debut season for Inter. He was initially a regular on the bench behind Samir Handanovic, but became a regular in goal for them during the back єɴԀ of the campaign. His movement and passing are among his main strengths. These are two key attributes where De Gea has let down United.
Onana seems determined to make the switch to Old Trafford, but a transfer depєɴԀs on United meeting the asking price for his signature. Inter want at least£43 million plus bonusesfor the 27-year-old. The club’s CEO Giuseppe Marotta hasalready confirmedthat Inter are waiting for United’s offer for the highly-rated star.
