Manchester United have completed the signing of Cameroonian goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan on a five-year deal, Sportivationng.com reports.
Onana joins the Red Devils for a reported fee of £47.2m (55m euro).
“Manchester United has a long history of incredible goalkeepers, and I will now give everything to create my own legacy in the coming years,” Onana said in a statement.
He has said goodbye to Inter fans earlier on Thursday.
“I fell in love with San Siro, la Curva and the city. Now the circumstances are right for me to start a new journey in Manchester,” Onana said in a statement.
“I do it with great enthusiasm, but knowing that I will miss you. Eternal gratitude to all the ‘Interisti’. You make this club great.”
United have been looking for a new first-choice keeper after Spaniard David De Gea’s contract expired in June, bringing an end to his 12-season tenure with the Old Trafford side.
United finished third in the 2022-23 Premier League campaign, securing a spot in the Champions League.
Onana looked destined to be the long-term first-choice keeper for Cameroon but decided to retire from international duty after playing just one match at the 2022 World Cup, where he was suspended for disciplinary reasons.
He won 34 caps for the national team. (Reuters)
