Top football pundit, Richard Keys has predicted that Andre Onana ‘will cost Man United as many points as David de Gea used to save after the Cameroonian joined the Red Devils.
The 27-year-old has joined Erik ten Hag’s side in a £47m deal from Inter Milan, replacing David de Gea, whose contract at Old Trafford expired.
But while Spanish shot-stopper de Gea made some high-profile blunders between the sticks, Keys believes that Onana may be more of a risk than his predecessor.
Reacting to Onana deal, Keys said: ‘I’ve got a horrible feeling this guy will cost United as many points in a season as de Gea used to save. This is a big call by ten Hag.’
Onana has a good working relationship with ten Hag from their time together at the Dutch club Ajax, and the manager obviously believes that the Cameroonian goalkeeper is the right footbaler to fix Man United’s goalkeeper problem.
Onana could make his debut in a New Jersey friendly against Arsenal on Saturday, after flying out to the USA to join his new teammates.
