Amorim told to waste no time in ditching Onana

- ANDY DUNN

RUBEN AMORIM has been told he must replace Andre Onana if Manchester United are to become a Premier League force once more.

Onana has made regular high-profile mistakes after arriving at Old Trafford in an expensive move from Inter Milan two years ago.

And now, former United coach Rene Meulensteen believes shipping out Onana will be key to a United revival under Amorim.

"It's vital they look to replace Onana," said Meulensteen. "If you look at Man United's history, they started building a successful team at Old Trafford through the goalkeeper, with Peter Schmeichel, Edwin van der Sar, and David De Gea.

"They must bring confidence to the defence as that galvanises the whole back line.
