On Tuesday evening, the 27-year-old boarded an aircraft from Milan to England, with the stopper on the verge of sealing a deal to the 20-time English champions. Onana's contract is anticipated to be finalized ahead of the club's pre-season tour of the United States, allowing him to make his debut against Arsenal on Saturday in New Jersey.
"The most important thing is to always be honest and tell the truth." "I am someone who is constantly looking for new challenges," the former Cameroon international told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "It's impossible not to want to play in the Premier League for a club like Manchester United." This was something that all sides desired. But what counts is that I would have been equally happy if I had stayed because I never had any problems at Inter. Indeed, in Milan, a magic was developed that is impossible to define. "Thank you is the word I want to use. I say it to all the workers of Pinetina and of the company, to the managers, to the president, to the coach, to the comrades. But above all to the fans. "I felt that they really loved me. I played in Milan for a year, but I'll be an Interista forever. Now I'll cheer in front of the TV. I wish Inter to win the Scudetto that we missed right away. "I know how much everyone wants the second star, I hope the time has come to put it on their chests.
Onana will take over as Manchester United's number one goalkeeper, succeeding David de Gea, who departed the club on a free transfer this summer. The former Ajax stopper is likely to sign a five-year contract with the 20-time English champions, with both clubs expected to finalize the move within the next 24 hours.
