Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot has snubbed his club team-mate Andre Onana as he tipped who will become the best goalkeeper in the world.
Onana has had a mixed season at Old Trafford since he was chosen by Erik ten Hag to replace David de Gea at Old Trafford last summer.
The Cameroonian shot-stopper had a shaky start to the season for the Red Devils, though he has recovered some form after a disappointing Africa Cup of Nations campaign where he conceded three goals in his only outing.
Another goalkeeper who had been linked with the Red Devils last summer was Porto and Portugal No 1 Diogo Costa.
Dalot believes that his international team-mate has the ability to become the best goalkeeper in the world and make the leap to a top European club.

Onana has had a mixed season at Manchester United following his arrival last summer
He told Sport TV, as per the Mirror: 'I think [Costa] is already more than ready for this leap [to a top European club], which will happen when he decides, whenever.
'I've had the opportunity to tell him several times that he has that ability and for me he will be the best goalkeeper in the world soon.
'He's already one of the best and that's why I believe he has that potential, that future. In addition to being a great friend, he is a great goalkeeper and I look forward to seeing what he will do in the future.'
Costa, 24, has already made 146 appearances for Porto and 19 for Portugal.
The Porto keeper had been asked by reporters about a move to Old Trafford last summer, before United opted for Onana.
He downplayed a move to Old Trafford, stating: 'That's the internet. It is a happiness and an honour to play for my favourite club.
'What they say is what they say, there is nothing concrete. I have a contract until 2027 and I hope to continue, let's see.'
At the time it was reported that United would have had to pay a £65million release clause to lure Costa to Old Trafford.

Instead, they spent £47m to sign Onana from Inter Milan, after Ten Hag previously worked with the Cameroonian at Ajax.
Onana recently admitted that he didn't feel good for the first six months of his career at Old Trafford.
He said: 'I already know the goalkeeper that I am, it took me six months or seven months, not to play good, just to feel good.
'It was a difficult time for me. Now I'm feeling a bit better. Everything was new, it was difficult for me to feel at home because of so many reasons; new country. Now I'm feeling good. For me, the most important thing is to be set, to be happy and I will shine.'
