Cameroonian goalkeeper Andre Onana has openly discussed his move from Inter Milan to Manchester United, citing the allure of playing in the prestigious Premier League and reuniting with United’s manager, Ten Hag, as key factors in his decision. The 27-year-old shot-stopper is expected to complete a £43.8 million transfer, with additional add-ons enhancing the deal.
In an exclusive interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Onana emphasized his desire for new challenges and the irresistible opportunity of representing a club as renowned as Manchester United in the highly competitive Premier League. He revealed that all parties involved were fully committed to making this transfer a reality.
“The important thing is to be honest and always tell people the truth,” Onana stated. “I am a person who always wants new challenges. Playing in the Premier League and for a club like Man United is irresistible. All parties wanted this to happen.”
Furthermore, Onana expressed his satisfaction with his time at Inter Milan and acknowledged the positive experiences he had while playing for the Italian club. Despite his decision to leave, he highlighted the magical bond he formed in Milan, describing it as an almost indescribable connection.
“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,” Onana confessed.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper’s imminent reunion with Ten Hag adds an intriguing dynamic to his move to Manchester United. The duo previously collaborated during their time at Ajax, where they achieved remarkable success. Their shared understanding and familiarity are anticipated to benefit United’s defensive line, bolstering the team’s overall performance in the upcoming Premier League season.
Onana’s acquisition represents a significant investment for Manchester United, signaling the club’s determination to strengthen their squad and compete for top honors. With his proven talent and experience, the Cameroonian goalkeeper is expected to make a considerable impact and contribute to United’s aspirations of securing silverware.
As the deal nears completion, fans eagerly await the official announcement and the prospect of witnessing Onana’s exceptional goalkeeping skills on display at Old Trafford.
