Andre Onana has spoken on his imminent move to Manchester United in the Premier League, MySportDab reports.
The Cameroonian was targeted by Erik Ten Hag as a top option to replace David De Gea who has left the club following the expiration of his Manchester United contract.
Andre Onana had reached personal agreement with Manchester United and it is understood United have also broker an agreement with Inter Milan for Onana.
With all details of the deal thrashed out by both parties – Inter Milan and Manchester United, Onana was spotted yesterday making his way to the airport in Milan to travel down to England to join Manchester United for his medical.
The £43m signing from Inter Milan was seen driven in a vane into the airport as he makes his way to the departures to fly down to the UK.
Speaking with Gazello Dello Sport before attempting the flight to the UK, Onana said
“The important thing is to be honest and always tell people the truth. ‘I am a person who alway wants new challenges.
”Playing in the Premier League and for a club like United is irresistible. All parties wanted this to happen.
”But what matters is that, even if I had stayed, I would have been equally happy because I never had any problems at Inter. Indeed, a magic was born in Milan that is almost difficult to explain
When he was asked whether he will step into the shoes of great Manchester United goalkeepers such as David De Gea and Edwin van der Sar, Onana said.
”’Being chosen to continue this tradition makes me proud and responsible: I want to win trophies with my new companions.”
Manchester United reached a £43m agreement to sign Andre Onana as the club’s new goalkeeper.
Onana has worked with Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag for five years at Ajax before joining Inter Milan last summer.
His move will see him reunite with the former Ajax manager who has been one of his biggest fan.
