Andre Onana's first words as a Manchester United player after club confirm transfer

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Manchester United have completed the signing of goalkeeper Andre Onana after he signed a five-year deal with the option for a further year at Old Trafford.

United agreed a deal worth an initial €51million, plus a further €4million in add-ons, with Inter earlier this week and Onana underwent a medical at Carrington on Wednesday.

The goalkeeper jetted out to New York earlier on Thursday to link up with his new teammates for the club's pre-season tour of the United States and the deal has now been completed, subject to international clearance.

Onana will replace David de Gea as United's No. 1 after the Spaniard left the club on a free transfer last month. Erik ten Hag knows 27-year-old Onana well, with the Cameroon international playing 145 games for him at Ajax before his move to Inter, where he impressed in the Champions League final last month.

"Walking out at Old Trafford to defend our goal and contribute to the team will be another amazing experience.
