- Manchester United have got huge competition for their number one goalkeeper target Andre Onana, with a Saudi Pro League side interested in him.
As it is every year, it’s another long summer of what seems like a million different transfer rumours at Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag tries to get the most out of his budget.
It is expected that their move for Mason Mount will be made official in the coming days after their £60 million bid was accepted, even if he’d have preferred to be going to Liverpool.
And they could even add another midfielder to their squad, with reports claiming that they’re closing in on a deal for Fiorentina star Sofyan Amrabat.
The decision to spend so much of Ten Hag’s transfer budget on midfielders, given the urgent needs at both ends of the field, may cause some fans to wonder.
The team is in severe need of a striker because none of the number nines from the previous season performed up to par, and Goncalo Ramos is the most recent player to be linked.
However, finding a goalkeeper may be even more urgent now that David de Gea’s contract is about to expire at the end of the week.
Andre Onana, the star forward for Inter Milan, is apparently the manager’s first pick, but the Saudi Pro League is now a rival.According to CBS, David Ospina is expected to miss the beginning of the season due to injury, thus Cristiano Ronaldo’s team Al Nassr wants to move the 27-year-old to the Middle East.
If Onana is open to it, he’d undoubtedly be one of the greatest keepers they could sign. The league is trying to bring in the best players available to them.
He worked with Ten Hag at Ajax, and his skill with the ball at his feet contrasts sharply with De Gea. He would also be in line with the manager’s preferred style of play.
