Manchester United are preparing to introduce Cameroon international goalkeeper André Onana within the next few days after bidding farewell to David de Gea last week.
De Gea had been United's No. 1 since arriving at the club in 2011, but Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag decided to seek out other options for the club's goalkeeping position following the end of the most recent season.
Onana appears to be the man to step in to replace the long-tenured Spaniard at Old Trafford, but former United striker Dwight Yorke warns that the club may come to rue the decision.
"The David de Gea situation is a bit disrespectful from Man United but they also have the right to do it," said Yorke, who was speaking to BoyleSports who offer the latest Premier League odds here. "You never want to end your long career at such a big club, in turmoil.
"I understand how these football clubs work, but I also sympathise with the player. Man United have to be careful what they wish for. You don't win the Golden Glove if you're not a good goalkeeper.
"I know he's made mistakes and some of them at crucial times, but who doesn't do that?"
While Ten Hag seems eager to reunite with Onana after the duo were part of a successful Ajax team from 2017 to 2022, Yorke isn't as impressed by the former Inter Milan 'keeper or any of the other options United have considered.
"I don't think the goalkeepers that Man United want are anywhere near as good as De Gea, so they need to be careful what they wish for," he said. "Dean Henderson might be given a chance while De Gea is still there, but changing a 'keeper could come back to bite Man United.
"It's a bigger risk to bring in any of the goalkeepers Man United are looking at than to stick with De Gea.
"Outside of Thibaut Courtois and a couple of others, there are no proper world-class goalkeepers and even they can make mistakes."
