Manchester United’s new goalkeeper, Andre Onana is all fired for this new chapter with the Red Devils, after completing a switch from Inter Milan to the club today.

The Cameroonian goalkeeper comes in as a direct replacement to David De Gea who left United after the expiration of his contract.

Onana who has amassed 104 clean sheets in 255 club appearances so far signs a contract until June 2028 with United, with the option of a further year.

The 27-year-old 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.”

John Murtough, Manchester United’s football director, added: “Andre was our top choice to become the new goalkeeper for Manchester United, with exactly the right profile of technical attributes and personality. Having achieved success throughout his career, we know that Andre will further add to the winning mentality we are building within our squad.

“He is already one of the world’s best goalkeepers and at the age of 27 we firmly believe that he can develop even further over the coming years.”

Onana will don United’s number 24 jersey henceforth.
