The Red Devils allegedly intend to pull a embarrassing U-turn on David de Gea

Concerned about Andre Onana’s availability for the Africa Cup of Nations, Manchester United is reportedly considering providing David de Gea a short-term contract.

De Geа ended his 12-yeаr stint with United аt the beginning оf the summer when his cоntrаct expired. The teаm turned dоwn а оne-yeаr cоntrаct extensiоn becаuse they wаnted tо discuss new terms, including а cоnsiderаble wаge decreаse.

Andre Onana, who cost United £47.2 million and was signed by Erik ten Hag, has had a rocky start to life at Old Trafford. He was 32 at the time of his departure. Since then, the 27-year-old has been called back up to the Cameroon squad, which means he may miss a month of club action while participating in the AFCON.

The Sun claims United is considering doing a U-turn and offering De Gea a short-term contract. Despite proposals from the Saudi Pro League, the Spaniard is still without a club and is widely believed to be interested in staying at the top level in Europe.

As Jadon Sancho’s exit from United becomes more likely in January, 90min says that West Ham are’monitoring’ the situation.

After Sancho implied that Ten Hag was lying in a social media post last month, the manager banished him from the first team. If he is still in the cold beyond Christmas, The Manchester Evening News has heard that he is willing to go.

The 23-year-old has been linked to West Ham since the summer, and the Hammers appear to still be interested in signing him. There is no indication in the story as to whether the transfer would be temporary or permanent, but it does suggest that a transfer to another Premier League club would be more difficult than one to Europe.
