Inter Milan's goalkeeper Andre Onana seems to have announced his move to Manchester United and has already set his sights on achieving great things with the club.
Cameroonian goalkeeper Andre Onana is closer to his highly-anticipated move to English giants Manchester United.
Pulse Sports Nigeria can confirm this following reported comments made by the Inter Milan shot-stopper.
Onana has been Manchester United’s priority signing this summer as Erik Ten Hag looks to strengthen his team following the departure of club legend David De Gea.
Onana confirms United move
According to reports and quotes from various sources attributed to Italian outfit, Gazzetta, Onana says he could not say no to Manchester United.
“I am a person who always wants new challenges. Playing in the Premier League and for a club like United is irresistible,” Onana was quoted to have said.
“I will go to a great league and a great club, which has a huge history just like that of Inter: I will start from scratch and give everything every day to show the new fans who I am.”
All parties wanted this to happen. But what matters is that if I had stayed, I would have been happy because I never had any problems at Inter.”
The former Ajax goalkeeper added that he had found a family in Italy and will remain thankful.
"I really found a family, “ he added. “Inter is a way of being in the world. Handanovic? He helped me a lot and I say thank you.”
Onana eyes Champions League with United
Meanwhile, the 26-year-old was part of the Inter Milan team that made it to the final of the 2022/2023 Champions League final.
However, despite his brilliance on the day, Inter came short against United’s neighbours, Manchester City, following a 1-0 defeat.
Onana, who is now United-bound, is ambitious and wants to lift the coveted title at the Red Devils once he completes his move to Old Trafford.
“I want and I hope to win the Champions League at Manchester United,” he added “I really want to start this new exciting experience, with a coach who is a master for me.”
