Man Utd backed for mega-money double England raid as cold water poured on £50m move

The Red Devils have completed the £60million signing of Mount from Chelsea and are now eyeing a David De Gea replacement.

The Spanish goalkeeper confirmed that he would be leaving United on a free transfer through a social media post on Saturday, which only further intensified speculation that would take Onana to the club. United and Inter have been in negotiations as the Italian club look to receive over £42m for Erik ten Hag’s former Ajax goalkeeper, as the two parties are expected to reach a compromise in negotiations.
