Darren Bent is convinced that Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale would start over Andre Onana for Manchester United.

The pundit has been speaking on talkSPORT and feels the shot-stopper would start for Manchester United, despite his recent downfall at Arsenal.

Aaron Ramsdale has recently lost his place in Mikel Arteta’s side after the arrival of David Raya over the summer.

The 25-year-old hasn’t started in the Premier League since the Gunners’ 3-1 win over Erik ten Hag’s men in early September.

As for Andre Onana, he’s endured a shaky start to life at United but has shown signs he’s beginning to settle down.

Yet, Darren Bent believes Ramsdale is simply a better goalkeeper than the Cameroonian.

Bent says Ramsdale would start for United

Speaking on talkSPORT, Bent listed the Premier League sides he thinks Ramsdale would start for and named United.

“This is where the sticky point is because when you look at the league table right and you start thinking about Aaron Ramsdale, I think he can go pretty much no everywhere,” the former Tottenham striker said.

“But there are a lot of clubs out there where I think he’s better than their goalkeeper now.”

“I think he’s better than Onana,” he added. “That’s my opinion, I think he’s better.”

Ramsdale starred for the Gunners last season and has every right to feel hard done by after losing his starting place to Raya.

The £30 million man would be a good addition to many sides in the Premier League. But it’s too early to judge Onana.

Onana was exceptional for Inter Milan last season and earned plaudits after his Champions League final display against Manchester City.

It’s certainly not unusual for a goalkeeper to get off to a shaky start at a new club and United will be hopeful the 27-year-old can rediscover his best form.
