Inter Milan CEO Beppe Marotta revealed that Manchester United has showed interest in goalkeeper Andre Onana.
After completing their first deal of the summer, Mason Mount, on Thursday, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag prioritized recruiting a goalkeeper.
David de Gea has been with the Carabao Cup winners for the previous 12 years, and his contract is set to expire at midnight on Friday.
According to metro News, Ten Hag turned down a transfer for third-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton to Luton Town on Thursday.
This decision was made due to the manager’s anxiety about starting the 2018 season with only one fully-fit goalkeeper, as Dean Henderson recovers from a serious thigh injury.

Inter Milan appear open to parting ways with Onana.
Marotta revealed that the Champions League finalists are now waiting for Manchester United to make the first move, indicating the English club’s “particular interest” in Onana.
“Manchester United expressed a particular interest, but that needs to blossom into making a proposal over the next few days,” the chief executive said when asked about Onana’s future at Inter.
“Once that happens, both Inter and the player will make a careful evaluation.”
The transfer market has just begun, anything can change, but Inter have always shown themselves at the top when building important teams.’
David de Gea is now a free agent after his contract expired on Friday. The club remain in talks with the Spaniard over extending his deal but on vastly reduced terms.
