He has already had a disagreement with the employer who wants him, failed a drug test, and been expelled from international football.

Erik ten Hag, though, thinks Andre Onana can help Manchester United get closer to their former glory.

With a £43 million compromise for the Inter Milan No. 1, the Cameroon goalkeeper’s summer of back and forth appears to be coming to a conclusion.

The fact that United manager Ten Hag is not pursuing a goalie who “didn’t give a s**t” shows that he does not harbor resentment.

In fact, Dean Henderson’s tenacity was the reason the door was left open for him to return to Old Trafford.

It was said that the Dutchman was irritated by the fact that he refused to return in the New Year after wanting to depart on loan for Nottingham Forest last summer before Ten Hag saw him.

But that’s not the case.

ETH praised 26-year-old Henderson’s perseverance in pursuing a berth on the first team in the Premier League, which he eventually achieved with Forest before a thigh injury ended his season in January.

So it was possible to rule out any concerns about long-term harm when Ten Hag and Onana had a falling out while Ten Hag was still at Ajax.

Ability comes before ill will, according to Ten Hag, whose United team faces Leeds in their first preseason match tomorrow in Oslo. Mason Mount, a recent addition, is expected to make his debut.

Onana was the starting goalie when he took over as Ajax’s manager in December 2017 and remained in that role until his February 2021 doping ban.

The 6ft 3in stopper took his wife’s prescription by accident while looking for aspirin. Simple to accomplish.

Ten Hag stood by him throughout his nine-month suspension, but things were still far from ideal. In fact, the manager benched him for the Dutch Cup final after noticing fitness issues as errors began to sneak into his play, much like David de Gea did last season.

When Ajax supporters booed him after a mistake, Onana had already said that he “didn’t give a s**t” and that he would soon be moving on to Inter Milan.

Ten Hag, though, never lost sight of his strengths, particularly his distribution when playing out from the back.

The success of the “noisy neighbours” of the Red Devils can be attributed in large part to Ederson’s ability to accomplish just that for Manchester City.

Onana’s desire to be more than a shot blocker, however, did not sit well with his national team manager and resulted in his resignation from Cameroon duty.

He was kicked out of the World Cup in Qatar last year by manager Rigobert Song due to what was deemed to be his hazardous distribution in the opening Group G loss to Switzerland by a score of 1-0.

Onana pledged never to compete for his nation once more.

However, this was a person who supported Inter in their victory over City in the Champions League final last month.

Ten Hag is certain that he can lead United to comparable heights now that De Gea is a free agent after his contract expired.

With 23-year-old youngsters Nathan Bishop and Matej Kovar serving as back-ups, Tom Heaton, 37, will start in Norway while Henderson, who is still recovering from an injury, stays back in Manchester.

Onana has previously been referred to be “a masterful keeper” by Ten Hag. United has had them forever. from 1968 European Cup winner Alex Stepney to Munich Disaster survivor Harry Gregg.

Up until his departure in 1999, following the club’s historic Triple, Peter Schmeichel was the tyrannical presence during the club’s greatest era of dominance.

It was amazing that United did not try to acquire Edwin van der Sar earlier as they juggled keepers. He followed in June 2005.

The picture of him stopping Nicolas Anelka of Chelsea in the 2008 European Cup final penalty shootout will live on in the club’s history.

De Gea, a superb shot-blocker, played 12 years in goal for United during a brief span in their history when they only won one Premier League championship.

However, since Pep Guardiola joined English football, things have changed.

 

In order to begin his journey to Saudi Arabia in style, Cristiano Ronaldo has reserved a suite at the luxurious Kingdom Tower, one of the country’s tallest and most imposing structures. According to insiders, the former Manchester United attacker may have built up a bill of £250,000 when he relocates his family to a permanent residence in the Middle East.

After his contract with Manchester United expired in November, Ronaldo quit playing in Europe and signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Al-Nassr.

The famous Portuguese man is rumored to be worth more than £400 million, but he had no second thoughts when it came to purchasing his first home.

According to the Mail, Ronaldo is staying at the 99-story Kingdom Tower, which offers the greatest views of Riyadh. The “Kingdom suite,” which the hotel claims as “entertain guests with unmatched views of Riyadh,” is where he, his fiance Georgina Rodriguez, and their five children reside.

 

Our newest two-story suite, which also has a private office, dining room, and media room, is located on the 48th and 50th floors of the hotel. The hotel’s interior design is befitting of a £172 million per year, five-time Ballon d’Or winner. The “Royal Suite” and Ronaldo’s suite must be reserved privately and are not available on the Kingdom Tower website. They are smaller, but still bigger than most apartments in the UK at 2,595 square feet.

A rough estimate of how much he is spending while he is there is provided by the “Presidential Suite,” which has a nightly rate of £3,300.
