Manchester United have announced the signing of Andre Onana from Serie A giants Inter Milan.
United confirmed Onana’s signing in a statement released on the club’s website.
The former Cameroon international signed a five-year deal believed to be worth £47.2m and will replace David De Gea.
“Andre Onana has joined Manchester United on a contract running until June 2028, with the option of a further year, subject to international clearance,” United stated.
“The Cameroonian goalkeeper has kept 104 clean sheets in 255 club appearances.
“He won three league titles and two KNVB Cups with Ajax before joining Inter in 2022.
Last season, he won the Coppa Italia and recorded the most clean sheets in the Champions League.”
Commenting on his move to United, Onana said:
“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. 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.”

This is currently one of the best – If not the best modern goalie in the world and he comes out of Africa!
If only my 2 teams the SE of Nigeria and my club side team who I support were the ones who this guy plays for – I would be a very happy man indeed! Well done to Man U for acquiring such a top notch goalie and Cameroon we see you! Carry go Onana!
Eto’o should stop the dirty politics and get Onana back. Let us verify his lineage. His great grandfather may be from Ikom, Cross River State. . . . . . in which case . . . . play. . . . . SE (sorry I am dreaming).
LOL wouldn’t that be just great!
But seriously, are you joking or is there any possibility of this being the case? 🙂
