“To join Manchester United is an incredible honour and I have worked hard all my life to get to this moment, overcoming many obstacles along the way,” Onana said on the club’s website. “Walking out at Old Trafford to defend our goal and contribute to the team will be another amazing experience.”
“This is the start of a new journey for me, with new teammates and new ambitions to fight for. Manchester United has a long history of incredible goalkeepers and I will now give everything to create my own legacy in the coming years.”
“I am excited by the opportunity to work again with Erik ten Hag, and I can’t wait to play my part in the success I know he is determined to deliver at this great football club,” Onana added.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag worked with Onana at Ajax, where they won three league titles and two KNVB Cups together. They also reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in 2019.
The Cameroon goalkeeper has kept 104 clean sheets in 255 appearances throughout his club career. He joined Inter Milan in 2022 and won the Coppa Italia during his time at the San Siro.
