Former defender Rio Ferdinand has already delivered a glowing assessment of Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana amid Manchester United's reported interest in his signature.
The Reds, who will get their pre-season campaign under way against Leeds United in Oslo in just under three weeks time, are planning to sign a new first-choice goalkeeper this summer after it emerged that David de Gea is now increasingly likely to leave the club. His current contract is up at the end of this month and he is not expected to put pen to paper on a new deal.
United, originally, were planning to bring in a back-up goalkeeper this summer to compete with De Gea, but now need to try and source a replacement. The Reds have been linked with several candidates in recent months, including Brentford's David Raya and Diogo Costa of FC Porto.
However, Onana has now established him as the favourite to succeed De Gea, with widespread reports claiming that the Cameroonian is attracting strong interest from the Reds. The 27-year-old previously worked with United manager Erik ten Hag at Ajax, meaning they know each other inside out.

Onana, who made almost 150 appearances under Ten Hag in Amsterdam, joined Inter on a five-year deal last summer and excelled in his maiden season in Italy, helping them win two trophies and reach the final of the Champions League. And it was on Inter's journey to the final in Istanbul that earned the shot-stopper a collection of plaudits, including a package of praise from former United centre-back Ferdinand, who hailed his distribution and ability in possession.
