One player who would welcome the signing of Andre Onana at Manchester United is Antony.
The Brazilian, who signed from Ajax last summer, was a team-mate of Onana's at the Dutch giants. Manager Erik ten Hag was keen to reunite with Antony at Old Trafford and he is now targeting the same with Onana.
United are looking to agree a fee with Inter Milan, with all parties said to be keen on getting a deal done this summer. David De Gea left United last weekend and the Reds are now looking to recruit a number one shot-stopper ahead of the new season.

Mason Mount is the sole addition at United so far, with Ten Hag now targeting a goalkeeper and centre-forward. Onana is top of the Dutchman's list and should the move go through, Antony would welcome the quality. When speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, he had kind words to say about the Cameroon international.
"I know him very well, we played together at Ajax," said Antony. "He is a great goalkeeper and a beautiful person. It’s not for me to say, because it’s the club’s decision and not mine. I can only say that he is certainly very strong - and that there is an excellent relationship between us."
When asked about the goalkeeper speculation, after the pre-season opener against Leeds, Ten Hag said: "Of course, goalkeeper is a key position, but I am happy with the players we have now. You never know in transfers, but we’re working on it. But in the meantime, we have to work on our way of playing to put progression in place."
