Ex-Man Utd star Ince: Onana vs De Gea?

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince has had his say on the club's bid for Andre Onana.

The Cameroonian and Inter Milan goalkeeper is the club's target to replace David De Gea.

Onana, who has worked with boss Erik ten Hag at Ajax, is comfortable with the ball at his feet.

Speaking about Onana, Ince told Betway: "First and foremost, he's a fantastic keeper. He's young, he's got loads of potential, he's great with his feet.

"A lot depends on what the situation is with David De Gea. Obviously, his contract is finished and there's ongoing talks. I presume that De Gea will be saying, 'Listen, if I'm going to sign then I need to be the No. 1'.

"But if they're going to cut his wages and he doesn't agree to terms, I think Onana will be the next one to come in.

"The ball's in De Gea's court. He knows he's going to have to take a reduction in his wages, and if he does that, I can see him back between the sticks come the start of the season."
