Goalkeeper Andre Onana is acquired by Manchester United for £47.2 million.

 The 27-year-old international from Cameroon has agreed to a five-year contract with an extension option.

Goalkeeper Andre Onana has been officially signed by Manchester United from Inter Milan in a high-profile transaction costing £47.2 million (£43.8 million original price with potential £3.4 million add-ons). 

The 27-year-old Cameroonian international has signed a five-year deal with a 12-month extension clause, securing his position as the club's first-choice custodian and replacing the departing David de Gea, whose 12-year deal with the organisation expired in July.

Onana expressed his deep gratitude for the opportunity to play for Manchester United and emphasised that he has toiled relentlessly throughout his career and overcame many challenges to be at this pivotal point. The gifted custodian is prepared to take on the responsibility of guarding United's goal at storied Old Trafford and hopes to make his mark by leaving his own legacy.

Onana is no stranger to achievement, having played under United's manager, Erik ten Hag, during his successful seven-and-a-half-year stint at Ajax, where he won three league titles. He is thrilled to be reunited with Ten Hag at Manchester United and is ready to help the squad achieve its goals in the future.Onana's extraordinary adventure continued with Inter Milan, where he was a crucial part of their run to the winners League final the season before, where they ultimately lost to defending Premier League winners Manchester City. He maintained eight clean sheets in 24 games while playing in Serie A, which contributed to Inter's third-place finish.

The Cameroonian goalkeeper's game fits the demands of modern football well since he is skilled at starting offensive plays from the back and quite at ease with the ball at his feet. John Murtough, Manchester United's director of football, voiced optimism in Onana's potential to improve his play and add to the team's winning culture.

Onana has received praise for his goalkeeping abilities, but he now has to figure out how to meet the rigours of the Premier League, which is famed for its roughness and aerial battles. But United thinks he has the talent and tenacity to succeed in the league, making him a brilliant acquisition.

Andre Onana's acquisition demonstrates Manchester United's dedication to assembling a strong team that can contend in the toughest local and European tournaments. His addition gives United's goalkeeping staff more depth and talent, laying the groundwork for an exciting and competitive season to come. Onana is ready to contribute significantly to the club's future success as he dons the recognisable Red Devils shirt and provide special moments for the devoted supporters at
