Ferdinand supports Erik Ten Hag’s decision. Rio Ferdinand, a former player for Manchester United, supported Erik ten Hag’s selection of Andre Onana from Inter Milan. But he wants the team to put a good finale to the David De Gea era rather than keeping him hanging while a decision about his future is being made.
According to Di Marzio, Manchester United, and Inter Milan have begun negotiations for Onana. They haven’t shown interest yet, but they’re determined to bring the Cameroon star to Old Trafford.
Onana was described by Pep Guardiola as a goalkeeper with outfield versatility, according to Ferdinand. He said this while recording his FIVE podcasts: “Days before the semi-final, Pep Guardiola and I spoke in an interview, and he mentioned the possibility of facing Onana.”
He also added: “You have to deal with this goalkeeper right now; there aren’t many goalkeepers you have to anticipate, and we press hard.”
“Normally, if you return to the goalkeeper, we’ve completed our task, and that’s it, but this guy, he’s like an outfield player. He starts the game playing virtually on the edge of the center circle and on the edge of his box due to his confidence and desire to participate in the build-up. He is a respectable man.”
Ferdinand went on to say: “He is an excellent shot blocker. Although he made some outstanding saves in the championship game, I’ve seen this young goalkeeper before at Ajax. I spoke to Edwin van der Sar several times about him before to Man United’s interest, and he waxed poetic about him. He was aware that this was the ideal goalkeeper.”
David De Gea’s contract at Manchester United has expired:
Due to the expiration of his Manchester United contract, David De Gea’s future is uncertain this summer. They have requested him to hold off on choosing his future until they arrange their transfer, though.
According to The Athletic, De Gea accepted an offer from Manchester United when it was made. But shortly after the agreement, the club withdrew the offer and demanded that he accept a lower salary.
According to the article, the initial offer already saw a significant reduction in pay from £375,000 per week. The Saudi club Al Nassr had promised to pay him £250,000 per week, according to the Daily Mail, but the most recent offer was for £200,000.
