Manchester United have recently been linked with Everton star Amadou Onana. And journalist Dean Jones thinks the 21-year-old could become more important for the club than Marouane Fellaini was during his time at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag is open to strengthening his midfield this summer, despite landing Casemiro and Christian Eriksen last year.

Speaking back in March, meanwhile, Onana admitted he’d love to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world one day.
"I see myself having had a lot of life experiences, which will have made me learn a lot about human beings in general, as well as about myself,” he said.
"I see myself, God willing, in one of the biggest clubs recognised worldwide."
Onana also admitted that it had been a difficult season for Everton as well.
"It's not an easy season,” added the youngster.

"I had never played before in a team that fought not to go down, and the fact that Everton is an important club in England, and that it has never gone down to the Championship, that adds a little more pressure.
"But we take it well, we live it well, we know that we have the quality and the ability to keep the club in the Premier League.
“On a personal level, it's going pretty well, because I've evolved in the space of half a season, it shows on the pitch in the maturity of my game.
"I had to adapt quickly, because here , there is less time to think, fit in spaces, turn around… I create a lot more chances than before, because I am more present in the sixteen meters.
“When I took stock of my performances this summer, it was one of the points I wanted to improve."
