MANCHESTER UNITED fans have labelled keeper target Andre Onana “better than Wout Weghorst” after he scored a brilliant goal in training.
The Inter Milan shot-stopper, 27, is being heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer.
It was reported over the weekend that the Red Devils are set to seal a £43million deal for the Cameroon international.
He is set to replace David de Gea in between the sticks as the Spaniard’s contract is up and he is not expected to remain Erik ten Hag’s No1.
But Man Utd fans were shown on Sunday that Onana is more than just a keeper.
He shared a training video on Instagram which saw him turn and outpace a defender, before he slotted the ball neatly into the far corner.

Alongside the clip, he added the caption: “Mamma Miaa. Denzel Dumfries [this] is the last time I teach you how to score.”
And United supporters were thoroughly impressed by Onana’s finishing skills as they insisted he would be an improvement on Weghorst up front.
The Dutchman, 30, netted just twice in 31 games for Ten Hag’s men after arriving on loan from Burnley in the January window.
Reacting to Onana’s video, one United fan said: “Our new keeper is a better finisher than Weghorst 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.”

Another added: “Better striker than ice cold Martial and pressing monster Weghorst.”
A third replied: “Wout Weghorst doesn’t bag that goal I promise you.”
And a fourth responded: “We’ve found David de Gea and Weghorst’s replacements in one person with less budget.”
Onana appears to be the frontrunner to succeed De Gea.
But he is not the only target United are being linked with as Everton’s Jordan Pickford is also being mooted as a potential option.
