Manchester United told to make shock move for Arsenal star Aaron Ramsdale amid Andre Onana worries

Image
https://ift.tt/3vGgKiB Manchester United should look to sign Aaron Ramsdale from Premier League rivals Arsenal, believes Alan Brazil. United signed Andre Onana from Inter Milan in a deal worth around £47million this summer but he has fallen below expectations so far. 3 Concerns over Onana have arisen again after United's 3-3 draw with Galatasaray Credit: Getty The goalkeeper has conceded 33 goals in 20 appearances, including three in their 3-3 Champions League draw with Galatasaray on Wednesday. Onana has been criticised for his efforts in the Turkish side's second goal in particular as he allowed Hakim Ziyech's free-kick to spill in. As a result, Ramsdale has been suggested as a potential option for United amid his lack of game time at Arsenal . Ramsdale has been usurped by David Raya in the Gunners goal, with talkSPORT's Brazil asking: "Onana is an accident waiting to happen - what about Ramsdale at Manchester United?"
