According to a report from Sky Sport, Manchester United and Inter Milan have reached an agreement worth up to £47.2 million for the transfer of goalkeeper Andre Onana. The player is enthusiastic about the move, and personal terms are anticipated to be easily resolved. Man United intend to have Onana join them for at least part of their US tour, which concludes on July 31.
Onana’s Impressive Performance In Italian Football Last Season
During his tenure as Inter Milan’s starting goalkeeper, Andre Onana had an outstanding season, consistently delivering strong performances. The 27-year-old featured in 37 games for the Italian side, conceding just 30 goals and securing an impressive 18 shutouts across various competitions.
The Cameroonian shot-stopper displayed his skills with an average of 0.5 clearances and 6.1 long balls per 90 minutes in Serie A. Additionally, he exhibited accuracy in his distribution, completing 79% of his attempted passes in top-flight football, according to statistics from Whoscored.
What Will He Bring To Manchester United?
Onana remains a dependable option to fill the goalkeeper position, showcasing excellent reflexes that enable him to make quality saves. Furthermore, his outstanding ball-handling abilities and adept distribution skills make him a valuable asset on the field. Standing tall at 1.90 meters, the Cameroonian international exudes dominance within his penalty area. His contributions to Inter Milan’s journey to the UEFA Champions League finals this season are commendable, demonstrating his ability to compete at the highest level.
With Onana’s experience and skills, the Red Devils would undoubtedly benefit from having a capable goalkeeper to replace David De Gea. At 27 years old, Onana still has ample room for growth and has the potential to develop into an exceptional player in the long term.
Erik ten Hag has done well to secure his services, and we might get a glimpse of what he can produce in the upcoming season as the Red Devils travel to the United States for their pre-season tour if everything goes well.
