The goalkeeper will have to accept a wage cut or move on with André Onana the No 1 target to replace him
The key to the buy-to-sell transfer market challenge that Erik ten Hag faces is located in the Manchester United manager’s loss of confidence in David de Gea. Illustrated, the conundrum would depict the Dutchman as a juggler keeping aloft his ability to sign André Onana (or another goalkeeper) and a centre-forward only by offloading Harry Maguire, Fred, Anthony Elanga and, maybe, even more peripheral squad members.
Why? Because Ten Hag’s budget is about £120m, of which £55m has been spent on Mason Mount, meaning Maguire, Elanga and Fred are the prime candidates to be sold to raise the requisite cash.
