Erik Ten Hag may need to make important decisions to improve Manchester United which is understandable but losing David De Gea may be a big loss for the team. Over the years De Gea has continually demonstrated his superiority as a custodian and his expertise greatly benefits the team. It would surely be difficult to find a suitable successor for such a brilliant and seasoned athlete. While Inter Milan Andre Onana can be thought of as a potential backup choice it is yet unknown whether or not he can fully replace the vacuum created by De Gea departure. Manchester United needs to carefully evaluate the issue and compare the advantages of keeping De Gea with the difficulties of finding a good replacement.
Yes, on the contrary, Manchester United did not immediately throw it away but offered a contract with a lower salary than before, this is what I don't like about Manchester United's management. How could they make this decision for a player who has made a significant contribution over the years and during that time De Gea has been very helpful to Manchester United in achieving various achievements. I think it would be better for Ten Hag to give him a bonus or a bigger salary if his contract extension finds a deal given his great contribution so far. If there was no alternative for Onana, I don't think Ten Hag would have made this decision for De Gea, because we know that Onana is no stranger to Ten Hag and Onana has put in an impeccable performance while working with Ten Hag at Ajax. Maybe this is what made Ten Hag more confident about releasing De Gea, even though basically we don't know Onana's appearance when he was one of the Red Devils players.
