Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana is reportedly hoping to sign for Manchester United this summer.
According to 90min, the Cameroonian shot-stopper has rejected advances from Saudi Arabian clubs because he has his heart set on a move to Old Trafford. The Saudi Arabian league has managed to attract several high-quality players in the transfer window including Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, Roberto Firmino and Marcelo Brozovic.
MEN Sport understands United have made Onana their top target should David de Gea decide to leave the Reds. The Spaniard's contract expired at the end of last week but the club are still waiting to hold face-to-face negotiations with the 32-year-old.

Some figures at United are unkeen on the idea of De Gea remaining their first-choice goalkeeper next season after mistakes in the defeats to Sevilla, West Ham and Manchester City. Should Onana join United, he would be linking up with Erik ten Hag again after their successful stint together at Ajax.
Elsewhere, the Daily Mail reports Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has been identified as a possible alternative to Onana for United. It is understood the 25-year-old would cost £30m compared to the £50m understood to be wanted for Onana.
Sanchez has fallen out of favour with manager Roberto De Zerbi who signed former Ten Hag target Bart Verbruggen this week. Other Premier League sides are thought to be circling the Seagulls for the shot-stopper thanks to his impressive displays on the south coast.
