      Man Utd fans go mad for two-minute clip of ‘Japanese Onana’ and reckon £5million fee could be ‘steal of a transfer’

      by

      The move for the Japanese youth international follows reports that United and Inter have agreed a £47million fee for Andre Onana, who is United’s priority for the goalkeeper position.
      United have already agreed personal terms with Onana, 27, so a deal is expected to be concluded swiftly once United and Inter reach full agreement over a fee.
      And it looks like they could also be signing his successor in Suzuki.
      Erik Ten Hag is keen to sign a goalkeeper that is adept at playing the ball out with his feet, something which De Gea has traditionally struggled with.

      Suzuki excels at playing the ball out from the back, and a two minute compilation of his passes and saves was impressing fans on Manchester United Twitter.

      The poster of the video said: “Nahhh this Suzuki kid is actually the Japanese Onana.”
      He added: “We’re gonna have two keepers with a modernised style, Ten Hag you are that guy.”
      Another fan added: “Suzuki by name, Rolls-Royce by nature.”

      The Daily Mail report that United plan to make a £5m offer for the Urawa Red Diamonds stopper which would make him the most expensive player in J.League history.
      Suzuki made his full debut for the Japanese national team last July at the age of just 19.
      Prior to his first senior appearance he represented Japan at under-21 level.
      United are understood to have tracked Suzuki since 2017 when the keeper was just 14 years old.
      With De Gea already departing the club after his contract expired last month, Dean Henderson is also expected to depart the club.
      Nottingham Forest are expected to bid for Henderson after he spent last season on loan at the City ground. More

      The Dutchman is now set to play in La Liga for the first time in his career with a free transfer agreed, pending a medical.
      Blind, who has 101 international caps, would become the first Dutch star to play for the Catalan club.
      Since leaving Manchester United in 2018 it hasn’t been all plain sailing for Blind, including a scary injury in a Champions League match for Ajax when he complained about suffering from dizziness in 2019.
      A medical examination revealed he had a heart muscle inflammation, but Blind has continued to play after having an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) fitted to regulate his heartbeat.

      He later collapsed in a friendly against Hertha Berlin with his team-mates quickly instantly racing over to him and medics arriving seconds later.
      Erik ten Hag, the Man Utd manager who was Blind’s Ajax boss at the time, revealed “his ICD went off and he was subbed off straight away”.
      Blind returned to football but later admitted pal Christian Eriksen’s collapse on the pitch at Euro 2020 , during which he died before being resuscitated, led to him “overcoming a mental hurdle” to keep playing.
      Despite this Blind recovered and starred for the Netherlands at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

      Mbappe, 24, admitted he has no desire to extend his deal and the French champions will not allow him to leave for free.
      So they are faced with trying to sell the World Cup winner, who could cost up to £170MILLION.
      It leaves only the richest of clubs in Europe able to buy Mbappe, according to agent Bruno Satin.
      Satin told L’Equipe: “It’s difficult to give a price for Mbappe.

      “A normal club, that is to say not a club-state, will not in my opinion pay £170m today.
      ‘In my opinion, only Manchester City, Newcastle and Real Madrid can pay today.
      “For me, the real price is between £85m and £130m, after which there can be bonuses to go up to £170m or almost.
      “If there are few suitors, it is not likely to increase its price.”

      Real Madrid in 2021 rejected an offer of £170m for Mbappe, who again had less than a year on his deal.
      Eventually, the forward agreed new terms with PSG but just two years on and he is ready to leave again.
      It leaves Real in pole position to finally get their man but the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United have also been linked.
      So too incredibly have Arsenal, who Independent say Mbappe would actually favour if he was to ever make a move to the Premier League.
      It is claimed the striker likes the evolution under Mikel Arteta and would enjoy the challenge of delivering the title to the club.
      But Arsenal – set to take their spending to £200m this window alone – would not be able to financially compete with their rivals.
