Cristiano Ronaldo could foil Man Utd transfer plan and have last laugh over Erik ten Hag

Cristiano Ronaldo's club, Al-Nassr, have made an attempt to sign top Manchester United transfer target Andre Onana.

With United goalkeeper David de Gea's future still uncertain following the expiry of his contract, the Red Devils have held talks with Inter Milan over signing Onana, who boss Erik ten Hag worked with while at former side Ajax. But as Mirror Football reported last Saturday, the 27-year-old Cameroonian has been deemed too expensive by United chiefs because of his £60million price tag.

Ten Hag only has limited funds to spend this summer before player sales, with nearly half of the anticipated £120million he has available being splurged on Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, who underwent a medical on Monday. Cash-strapped Inter are keen to sell Onana, as they hope to finance a deal for Romelu Lukaku.
