Manchester United could submit a bid for Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana next summer, according to reports.
Onana is one of the most highly-rated young shot-stoppers in Europe, with the 23-year-old one of Ajax’s star performers in last season’s Eredivisie title triumph and run to the Champions League semi-finals.
And Old Trafford has now emerged as another potential destination for Onana, who recently told BBC Sport that he would be interested in playing in the Premier League in future.
That comes as a slight surprise given the fact the David de Gea signed a new deal worth £350,000 per week just two months ago.
De Gea’s form has tailed off in the last couple of seasons, though, and United may be looking to the future with their interest in Onana, who is six years younger than the Spaniard.
However, De Gea is now one of the Premier League’s best-paid players and will have almost certainly sought reassurances over his position at the club during contract negotiations.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side moved up to seventh place in the Premier League table following Sunday’s 3-1 victory over Brighton, although they remain nine points adrift of the top four.
