Andre Onana would be a 'sensational' signing for Manchester United, should the Inter Milan star complete a move to Old Trafford.
That is the view of Dutch football expert Marcel van der Kraan, who has spoken to Sky Sports News amid the speculation regarding Onana. United are looking to wrap up a deal for the Cameroon shot-stopper after David De Gea's 12-year stay at the club came to an end last week.
Inter are said to value Onana at £51million, with United having seen an initial offer of £38.5m knocked back. Despite that, the word in the media has remained that all parties want to get a deal done - with Onana keen on reuniting with his old Ajax boss Erik ten Hag. Onana's ability as a goalkeeper, as well as his character, makes him the ideal candidate for United - in van der Kraan's eyes.

"He is probably the most sensational goalkeeper Man Utd will get for a long time," he told Sky Sports News. "He was a bit overconfident early in his career. Edwin van der Sar was convinced of him. Some of the scouts at Ajax did not want to touch him because they thought he was a liability, with all his tricks and antics.
"But Van der Sar said: 'Look, we want to get this boy, he is going to be brilliant'. Ever since joining Ajax he was a huge success. Now there is a bit more calm in his game and you could see in the Champions League final some of the build-up he does. He can be a sweeper, he can be a full-back, he can be a midfielder.
"But let's keep him in goal, because that's where he's best. Onana is, some fans call it crazy, but there is always logic behind it. Some of his antics were almost hilarious at times but always brilliant.
