Erik ten Hag has been warned that Andre Onana will have to overcome the same early challenges as David de Gea if he becomes the new Manchester United No 1 next season.
After it was confirmed that De Gea, 32, would be leaving Old Trafford after 11 seasons, United are closing in on a deal for the Cameroon international. Personal terms have already been agreed, with only Inter's valuation now proving a stumbling block with United set to submit a second improved offer.
Onana, 27, previously worked with Ten Hag with Ajax, and seemingly fits the mold of keeper sought after by the Dutch boss. Adept with the ball at his feet, one of the Serie A star's main strengths was a perceived weakness of his Spanish predecessor.
