Chelsea opens path for Manchester United to replace De Gea

Liputan6.com, Jakarta- In the 2023 summer transfer market, Manchester United will also be forced to hunt for a new goalkeeper. The possibility that David de Gea will not extend his contract means MU must bring in a suitable replacement in the summer of 2023.

De Gea’s contract with United expires on June 30. Contract extension negotiations have so far not reached an agreement, but neither MU nor De Gea have said goodbye even though there are only two weeks left for the contract to be completed.

This condition has made MU continue to be associated with a series of goalkeepers. There is Jordan Pickford from Everton, Diogo Costa (FC Porto), David Raya (Brentford) and Andre Onana (Inter Milan).

Of the four names, Onana has the greatest chance of getting MU until mid-June 2023. Evening Standard just reported that MU’s toughest competitor for Onana, namely Chelsea, has decided to withdraw from competition.

MU is now reportedly in the front row to get Onana. The Red Devils also have another advantage in being able to win the hunt for Onana, namely the figure of coach Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman has a close relationship with Onana.

While still coaching Ajax Amsterdam, Ten Hag started Onana. The Dutchman is interested in reuniting with the Cameroon player if De Gea does leave Old Trafford.
