A Manchester United legend has warned the fans they should be careful what they wish for after Andre Onana was brought in to replace David de Gea.
De Gea's 12 year at Old Trafford came to an end at the 2022/2023 season when his contract was not renewed and the parties decided to part ways.
Onana came in from Inter Milan and made his debut in the 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid earlier this week, but Red Devils legend Dwight Yorke does not feel letting De Gea leave was the right decision.

"I've said before that Man United need to be careful what they wish for with losing David de Gea. For all the good De Gea has done for Man United, the way his career ended was really bad," Yorke told OLBG.
"I hope this doesn't come back to haunt Man United now they've bought Andre Onana. Be careful what you wish for. De Gea is the Golden Glove winner, a high-profile player who has made mistakes, like the rest of us. De Gea winning the Golden Glove is like winning the Golden Boot and being the top scorer at the club but still getting replaced by the football club. That does not resonate well with me.
"In my opinion, Onana is not as good as De Gea and people need to watch him very carefully. I've seen Onana before, the Premier League is a different kettle of fish with how fast the game is and how often you are pressured.
"Onana tries to be an outfield player rather than a goalkeeper sometimes. I will be watching this guy very closely, and the people who have criticised De Gea and wanted him to leave will probably be the ones who will be calling him to come back. I'm hoping that doesn't happen for Man United's sake."
