Man Utd ‘intend’ to ‘offer more than’ £60m as Ten Hag already ‘loses trust’ in player

According to the Spanish press, Premier League team Manchester United is interested in buying Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

The Red Devils paid 55 million euros to bring Andre Onana to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window after the Cameroon international helped Inter Milan reach the Champions League final last season.

Onana replaced David de Gea as Man Utd’s number one at the start of this campaign, then the player left the Red Devils this summer on a free transfer after failing to reach a new agreement with the club.

Erik ten Hag wants a player who can play from the back with his feet and Onana fits the bill – but his performances earlier this season have yet to convince the Man Utd faithful.

There have been rumors that Man Utd could be looking to replace him with reports suggesting Porto’s Diogo Costa is back on their radar.

But now Spanish publication Nacional claim Atletico Madrid’s Oblak is the latest on the list to replace Onana, with Man Utd facing a ‘serious goal problem’.

They claim that Ten Hag is ‘starting to lose faith’ in Onana after Man Utd’s goalkeepers made mistakes this season.

The Dutchman is looking for a goalkeeper who is “more consistent and less prone to mistakes” with Oblak ticking all the boxes, despite being an “integral piece” of Diego Simeone’s Atletico team.

Man Utd believe that, if there is a suitable offer, they will allow him to move to the Premier League’, while the Red Devils are ready to ‘offer more’ 70 million euros (£60 million) for the Slovenian international .

It is important to note that Oblak “has not shown much interest in a change of scenery” and “it seems unlikely” that he will leave Atletico.

And Fabrizio Romano today confirmed that rumors linking Oblak with Man Utd are “completely false”, with the Red Devils still maintaining “faith” in Onana.

Romano writes in his Caught Offside column: “There have also been rumors about Man United and Jan Oblak, with speculation that the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper could be a target for the Red Devils, but I can confirm that This is completely untrue. There is nothing between United and Oblak, they have invested a lot of money in Onana and they trust him

“United’s goalkeeper for the present and the future will be Onana, and with Oblak there will be no dialogue either player or club It makes little sense for United to pursue this deal at this stage.»
