Erik ten Hag wants Manchester United to arrange a final farewell for David de Gea at Old Trafford.

Andre Onana has been at Inter Milan for only a year but could be back on the move again after just 12 months in Italy thanks to Manchester United's interest.
United are in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer as Erik ten Hag seeks to reinforce his squad in that area of the pitch. That need has become all the more important following David de Gea's departure.
The Spaniard has left Old Trafford after 12 seasons at the club. His contract expired at the end of June and departs with 545 appearances at United to his name.

Onana has been pinpointed as a key target for Ten Hag's side this summer to fill the void left by De Gea's departure. Recognised senior goalkeepers at United currently include Dean Henderson, who could be on the move himself this summer to Nottingham Forest, and veteran Tom Heaton.
Cameroon international Onana fits the bill of what Ten Hag wants in a goalkeeper. He is well known by the Dutchman having played under him in the past at previous club Ajax.
Onana is also comfortable playing out from the back, something De Gea never truly was at United, and is a key aspect of how Ten Hag likes his teams to operate. The goalkeeper is currently only 12 months into a five-year deal at Inter.
The Italian side are said to want a transfer fee of €60m for the goalkeeper's services. Two approaches from United with fees below this level have been turned down, but there is hope that a compromise can be reached and that Onana could become a United player this summer.
