Manchester United seal Andre Onana deal
Manchester United have completed the signing of goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan.
Sky Sports reported that Onana has signed a five-year deal at Old Trafford with the option of a further year.
The goalkeeper replaces the departed David De Gea, who left the club after 12 years as the club’s first-choice stopper.
The English team will pay an initial £43.8m, plus £3.4m in add-ons for the 27-year-old Cameroon international, depending on individual and club performance.
Erik ten Hag previously worked with Onana at Ajax, where they won three league titles, two KNVB Cups, and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals in 2019.
The goalkeeper, who has 104 clean sheets in 255 club appearances, joined Inter Milan in 2022 and won the Coppa Italia during his stay at the San Siro.
“To join Manchester United is an incredible honour and I have worked hard all my life to get to this moment, overcoming many obstacles along the way,” Onana said.
“Walking out at Old Trafford to defend our goal and contribute to the team will be another amazing experience. This is the start of a new journey for me, with new teammates, and new ambitions to fight for.
“Manchester United has a long history of incredible goalkeepers, and I will now give everything to create my own legacy in the coming years. I am excited by the opportunity to work again with Erik ten Hag, and I can’t wait to play my part in the success I know he is determined to deliver at this great football club.”
