Man United: Verbal £47m Agreement For Andre Onana

 

Manchester United have reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Inter Milan to sign goalkeeper Andre Onana. 

The Red Devils are after a new first-choice goalkeeper this summer after it was confirmed that David de Gea has officially left Old Trafford following the expiration of his contract, bringing to an end his 12-year stint in Manchester. 

Onana, hailed as a "superstar" by members of the media, has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League after just one season with Inter Milan.

The Cameroon international, who worked under Erik ten Hag at Ajax, making 145 appearances under the Dutchman, enjoyed a positive first season in Italy, keeping 19 clean sheets in 41 games and helping the Serie A side to the Champions League final against Manchester City. Pep Guardiola hailed the goalkeeper following the final in Istanbul, saying:

“He [Onana] is exceptional with his feet. When you have a goalkeeper like Onana who can read perfectly where everyone is to pass to, with Calhanoglu and Barella, then the strikers hold it up and move the ball around. It is very, very difficult. It would be a tiny bit easier without this goalkeeper, but still very tough.” 

 Personal terms between United and Onana have already been finalised at the beginning of the month, leaving a fee needing to be struck between the two clubs, something which now appears to have been agreed.
