Andre Onana Close to Manchester United Move as Apartment Hunting Begins

Manchester United is on the verge of completing their second signing of the summer transfer window after the acquisition of Mason Mount from Chelsea.

According to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sports, Andre Onana is already searching for a comfortable apartment in Manchester as he prepares to join the Red Devils.

The report suggests that Manchester United is set to make a third and definitive bid for the Cameroonian goalkeeper that will break the €50 million barrier.

An official announcement is expected to be made on Tuesday or Wednesday.

This news comes as a relief for Manchester United fans who have been worried about the team’s goalkeeper situation for some time.

The club has been searching for a modern goalkeeper to replace David de Gea, whose form has been inconsistent in recent seasons. With the capture of Onana, Manchester United will finally have a reliable presence between the posts.

Onana has been a highly sought-after goalkeeper in recent years, and Manchester United has been chasing him for some time.

The report suggests that the club met with Onana’s entourage recently and decided to bid more to secure the target quickly.

Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, is reportedly driving the process behind the single-minded chase for Onana.

He rejected alternatives offered by the club when an agreement for Onana was not close and wants him for the start of pre-season so he can get familiar with his new teammates and surroundings before the season begins.

Manchester United’s pre-season fixtures begin with a game against Leeds United on July 12 in Oslo. It is unlikely that Onana will play in that game, but an appearance against Olympique Lyon on July 19 cannot be ruled out.

The speed at which this deal is developing is impressive, and it is a testament to the club’s determination to address their goalkeeper problem.

In addition to Onana, Manchester United is also in touch with Zion Suzuki of Urawa Red Diamonds, who might come in as a backup to Onana. With the signing of Onana and the potential addition of Suzuki, Manchester United will have completed a complete overhaul of their goalkeeper position in a quick time.

The signing of Onana will all but end David de Gea’s chances of a new contract at the club.

De Gea has been an excellent goalkeeper for Manchester United for many years, but his form has declined in recent seasons. With the arrival of Onana, Manchester United will have a modern and reliable goalkeeper who can help the team compete for major honors.
