Should Man United keep David de Gea or sign Andre Onana?
SportsFila discusses the latest on David de Gea with Manchester United as the club has been linked with Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana.
“De Gea doesn’t deserve this treatment. He saved Utd numerous times over the years. He makes unbelievable saves. Onana isn’t a better goalkeeper than De Gea. He might be better with his feet but he will never make the world class saves that De Gea makes. Excessive playing with your feet puts him at higher risk of making mistakes.”, Man Utd supporter said.

De gea served United really well and there’s has been ups and downs but it’s about time he takes a bow
Manchester United are in advanced talks with Inter Milan over the signing of goalkeeper Andre Onana, talkSPORT understands.
United’s opening bid of around £38m falls short of Inter’s £50m valuation but there is a willingness on both sides to reach an agreement.
Zenacen said to SportsFila: “Well we should be careful what we wish for. De Gea has become sloppy lately but maybe it’s a mental issue that can be addressed and keep him sharp . Mind u as sloppy and inaccurate with his passing as he is when Man UTD is playing from the back ,he does pull up some incredible saves on the regular to keep us in games and the opponent at bay. We really need to think about this cause frankly “playing from the back” is overrated and dangerous . U need the right personal and tactician to constantly pull it off. Numerous times we’ve seen players get sloppy by not paying attention to the press and that’s led to highlights of embarrassigmoments . I don’t know how we aren’t tackling our main issues which is buying strikers and defenders smh”
Andre Onana is Manchester United’s prime target should they move for a new No.1 goalkeeper.
Inter Milan custodian Onana, 27, played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax and is highly regarded for his ball-playing abilities as well as his shot-stopping.
Onana only joined Inter last year and is under contract until 2027. United have a tight budget due to Financial Fair Play restrictions and the thriftiness of the club’s owners, the Glazer family.

A striker is viewed as the most pressing issue yet United have already signed midfielder Mason Mount in a deal that could rise to £60m.
United needs a number 9. If all we have to spend is 100 million, then let it be on a number 9. Yes De Gea has made mistakes, but our issues have mostly been about scoring goals. We do need several positions filled with better quality, but it does not make sense to not bring in the best number 9 you can get for that 100 million. If we do not get a top number 9, we will fall short of any big trophy.
Onana, who played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax, is open to moving to Old Trafford.
If the deal goes through it is unlikely David de Gea will return to United after his contract expired last month.
The Spaniard was set to agree to an extension before United performed a U-turn and pulled the plug on the proposal.
With United now down to the bare bones in the goalkeeping department, Ten Hag has identified the 27-year-old as the perfect replacement for De Gea.

Mason Greenwood Breaks Silence on His Man Utd Future
According to the Mirror, Mason Greenwood wants to stay at Manchester United and has held “positive” talks with club chiefs ahead of a huge decision.
The England international, 21, hasn’t played for United since January 2022 following allegations against him by his partner Harriet and remains unavailable for selection as club chiefs conduct an internal investigation. He was arrested and due to stand trial before all charges were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February.
Did Mason Greenwood have a baby?
SportsFila is aware Mason and his girlfriend recently became parents to a new baby, whose picture was shared on the couple’s instagram accounts.
His university student girlfriend Harriet Robson recently enjoyed a baby shower where she showed off her blossoming bump.
The Sun understands the £75,000-a-week footballer plans to marry her.
Greenwood has been undergoing one-on-one training sessions in a bid to be fit for the new Premier League season. United’s campaign starts at home to Wolves in just over two weeks’ time, with a decision on Greenwood’s future expected in the coming days.
Ten Hag addresses Mason Greenwood and Man Utd takeover situation
United’s hierarchy – not manager Erik ten Hag – will decide whether Greenwood will remain employed by the club. Yet Ten Hag will be forced to make a decision on how to manage the player if club chiefs decide he can stay. A loan move could be an option.
Adidas are United’s biggest sponsors after signing a ten-year, £750million deal in 2015. It is believed other sponsors are set to follow suit.
A final decision on Greenwood’s future is set to be made before the Prem season starts, with the Red Devils opening against Wolves on August 14.
Is Mason Greenwood set to come back to Man utd Old TRAFFORD?
But Adidas’ intervention may seal a sensational comeback to Old Trafford after weeks of speculation that he could go out on loan.
The striker has been suspended since January 2022 amid his arrest for attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.
According to Goal sources, if Greenwood is released, United will need to pay up the final two years of his contract. It’s also important to remember that he was one of the best young footballers in Europe before the allegations were made against him and could be signed by a rival club.
Yet, according to The Sun, Greenwood is confident of being retained by United. It’s claimed there has been “positive” talks between the two parties.
See what Rasmus Hojlund bring to Manchester United
Manchester United kit manufacturer Adidas say they have not held discussions with the club regarding a return for Mason Greenwood, SportsFila understands.
Reports elsewhere on Friday evening claimed that the sportswear giant had approved a potential comeback for the 21-year-old, who still remains suspended by United.
Greenwood has always denied the allegations.

See what Rasmus Hojlund bring to Manchester United
Manchester United agrees league-winning £72m signing deal with Atalanta for Denmark forward. Manchester United have reached an agreement with Serie A side Atalanta over the signing of striker Rasmus Hojlund; 20-year-old was left out of the squad that played Bournemouth in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.
Here is what Rasmus Hojlund bring to Manchester United
This guy is SURELY going to be a good fit. You can always tell a good Man U player by looking at their face. If they have one of those serious faces, you know he’s gunna be a Man U legend. You watch. He will score a lots goals, SportsFila.com could see Rasmus Hojlund near the top 5 at the pl golden boot race; he didnt score that much goals for atalanta last season but he will thrive under ETH.
Breaking News: United and Atalanta reaches Rasmus Hojlund Agreement
Analysis: Hojlund has huge potential
Rasmus Hojlund has captured the imagination after an encouraging season in Serie A and Manchester United are betting on the 20-year-old talent to be the next superstar striker in European football. But how can they get the best from the young Dane?
Man Utd tactics demand Hojlund makes penetrative runs in behind the opposition defence. “That needs a lot of sprints and a lot of quick decisions from our strikers, and I think those are big strengths of Rasmus,” Christian Ilzer told Sky Sports as reported by SportsFila.
“I think it was key that our philosophy and style fit his skillset perfectly so he comes into a good environment. Ras is a great addition to our team with his abilities. It is his speed, his general physique and his willingness to work hard against the ball.”
There is a recognition that Højlund’s youth means he is not yet the complete forward but confidence within United’s hierarchy in Ten Hag’s ability to develop the player’s full potential. The manager is impressed with Højlund’s determination to work hard to improve.
United reach a compromise with Atalanta to sign Rasmus Hojlund
Although Højlund is regarded by United primarily as a No 9, Ten Hag would be expected to deploy him across the frontline on occasion, with Marcus Rashford able to operate at centre-forward.
Ten Hag has another No 9 in Anthony Martial but does not feel able to rely on him because the Frenchman is prone to injury. This has put Martial’s future in the balance, although Ten Hag remains impressed with what 27-year-old can offer when fit.
Ten Hag said United’s inability to take their chances in a 2-0 friendly loss to Real Madrid on Thursday “absolutely” emphasised their need for a new striker.
United had chances of their own but failed to score with any of their 14 attempts – an all too familiar tale given their problems taking opportunities last season.
Asked if the attacking display in Texas emphasised why they were looking to sign a new striker, Ten Hag said: “Absolutely.
“There were two things – the pressing can be better from the start and scoring goals.
“I think we need more players who are capable to be in the one-on-ones and we had the situations of one-on-ones.”

Breaking News: United and Atalanta reaches Rasmus Hojlund Agreement
Manchester United reach agreement with Atalanta to sign Rasmus Hojlund, SportsFila confirms from a Fabrizio Romano update.
Manchester United have reached an agreement with Atalanta for the signing of forward Rasmus Hojlund in a deal worth €75million plus €10million in performance-related add-ons.

Manchester United have reached an agreement with Atalanta over the signing of Rasmus Hojlung.
Fabrizio Romano dropped his favourite ‘here we go line’ on Twitter after evening to mark the announcement that Hojlund will be the next player to join Manchester United this summer.
The Denmark international, 20, will cost United a package of around €70 million including add-ons. Hojlund had alreaqdy agreed a five-year deal with the Reds, despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
Breaking News: Time for Anthony Martial To Go
Great signing. Some player. Benny would tend him into world class. Hopefully Rashford replicates last season. Martial would step up his game this season. Defensive midfielder is needed to challenge Casemiro though.
In the realm of football’s grace, a star did rise,
A striker bold with fire in his eyes,
From Denmark’s land, a talent so grand,
Rasmus Højlund, his name forever will stand.’
Is Rasmus Højlund the closest striker clone to Haaland?
In the heart of Manchester, his dreams took flight,
A Red Devil soaring through day and night,
With boots that danced upon the hallowed turf,
He showed the world his skills and worth.
Graceful strides, he weaved through defenders,
With every touch, hearts he would render,
The ball a puppet to his magic feet,
In the face of goal, he’d never retreat.
A thunderous strike, a shot so true,
The net would bulge, the crowd would coo,
The Stretford End erupted with delight,
For Rasmus’ goals, a mesmerizing sight.
Yet, it wasn’t just his goals that stood out,
His spirit and passion left no doubt,
A leader on the pitch, a team’s beating heart,
He played with love, a work of art.
Through ups and downs, he fought the fight,
Through injuries and struggles, his spirit stayed bright,
The fans knew they had a warrior, a friend,
In Rasmus Højlund, on whom they could depend.
The legend of this Dane will forever grow,
In the annals of history, his name will flow,
A Man United hero, a striker suprem
I’m sure given time he’ll be a success at Man Utd but considering he has only played 1 season in topflight football and got outscored by Lookman in the same team is quite concerning, especially with the fee expected to be £55M+
Manchester United have purchased a phenomenal talent here, Atalanta should have held out for more than was paid for Anthony as Hojlund’s ceiling is FAR higher. He has EVERYTHING needed to become a MONSTER number 9.
