Former Manchester United attacker Louis Saha has backed goalkeeper Andre Onana to be very important for the Red Devils.

Man United are reportedly closing in on an agreement with Inter Milan to sign Onana this summer transfer window.

Erik ten Hag’s side want the Cameroonian international to replace David de Gea, who left Old Trafford a few days ago.

Speaking to Betfred, Saha said: “He [Onana] is a top goalkeeper that is eager to improve, and he is 27 years old, so he has plenty of experience but is not old at all for a goalkeeper.

“The manager is looking to play out from the back and see how he can disrupt the opposition. I believe Onana will be very important for United.

“Of course, all goalkeepers make mistakes that lead to goals, but in Andre’s case, the team is going to score more goals because of him.”
