Andre Onana close to leaving Inter Milan for Manchester United, deal to be fully completed this summer

Manchester United reportedly threatened Inter Milan before accepting Andre Onana.
The Cameroon international is set to leave San Siro for Old Trafford this summer.

He replaces David De Gea, who recently left the club on a free transfer. Manchester United have been seeking an agreement for Onana since the decision to sack De Gea. And now they are set to bring in the Inter Milan star after agreeing a deal believed to be worth around £42m.

According to Corriere dello Sport, United threatened the Serie A giants during the talks. They made it clear they would abandon the negotiations on Onana and look elsewhere.
Inter bosses Giuseppe Marotta and Piere Ausilio refused to lower their demands, prompting United to take action.

They then reduced the asking price to around £47m, as they felt it was a fair return for their number 24. But United have now managed to sign Onana at a lower-than-expected price, with the 27-year-old becoming the club’s second signing this summer after Mason Mount.
Quinton Fortune, Eric Djemba-Djemba, Manucho, Mame Biram Diouf and Wilfried Zaha were all recruited when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge.

Under Jose Mourinho, United dropped Eric Bailly in the 2016 summer transfer window. And in January 2020, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signed Odion Ighalo on loan, with the striker netting five goals during his time at Old Trafford.

Onana replaces De Gea. The Spain international recently confirmed his departure on social media, saying:

“Just wanted to send this farewell message to all Manchester United fans.” I want to express my undying gratitude and appreciation for the love of the past 12 years. “We have achieved a lot since my dear Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this club.

“I was incredibly proud every time (sic) I wore this shirt, leading the team, representing this institution, the greatest club in the world, was an honor only given to a lucky few footballers.” arrived here.

“I didn’t think that if we left Madrid as children we would get what we did together.” Now is the right time to take on a new challenge, to push myself again into a new environment.”

United were now able to get on some of the other goalkeepers. Tom Heaton is wanted by Luton and Everton, the veteran looking for regular action as he enters the final years of his career.
Matej Kovar has been linked with a move to Sparta Prague. And Dean Henderson is wanted at Nottingham Forest after a successful loan spell last season.
