Andre Onana 'will cost Man United as many points as David de Gea used to save', suggests Richard Keys - despite departing keeper's struggles before £47m replacement arrived

Andre Onana has been tipped by football pundit Richard Keys to fare badly as Manchester United's new goalkeeper.

The 27-year-old has joined Erik ten Hag's side in a £47m deal which was confirmed on Thursday - replacing David de Gea, whose contract at Old Trafford expired.

But while Spanish shotstopper de Gea was known for making high-profile blunders between the sticks, Keys believes that Onana may be more of a risk than his predecessor.

Keys tweeted a link to Mail Sport's story on the Onana deal, and added: 'I’ve got a horrible feeling this guy will cost United as many points in a season as de Gea used to save.
