But agent Gonzalo Goni told ESPN Futbol 12: "David de Gea left the Red Devils at the end of 2022/23 season, forcing the Red Devils to look for a new stopper.
"Last year he was very close to Manchester United, the coach chose Onana, because he already knew him.
“But everyone at Manchester United later maintained that the ideal goalkeeper to win was Emiliano Martínez.”
