Manchester United's acquisition of a new goalkeeper has officially begun. According to Italian Sky Sports, the Red Devils are in contact with Inter Milan over the acquisition of Orana, and the Cameroonian international's manager has also appeared in Manchester for negotiations. According to the news, United's team leader Tannhäuser has locked in a deal for Onana, believing that the former Ajax 3-season champion is the perfect candidate for United's goalkeeper, and the final transfer fee is expected to be more than 50 million euros (about 429 million Hong Kong dollars).
The contract of Manchester United's goalkeeper D'Aguilar is about to end, and no progress has been made in the renewal of the contract, which is an important task for United to acquire a goalkeeper in the summer. Sky Sports revealed that Inter Milan goalkeeper Orano's manager Paul Dinis had flown to Manchester on Thursday (22nd) to negotiate with United's senior management, and that Inter were willing to let him go, but demanded a minimum of 50 million euros plus a floating bonus clause; it was also reported that Inter had already searched for a replacement, which is regarded as a positive sign by United.
The 27-year-old, who was trained by Barcelona, joined Ajax, where he won three Dutch league titles, and was coached by Tannhäuser at the time, and the two have worked together for nearly five years. Tannhäuser's tactics at Manchester United are based on organization, and goalkeepers need to have a certain degree of footwork and organization, which is Onalah's biggest selling point. Earlier in the month, he had a brilliant performance against Manchester City in the UEFA Europa League final, and was praised as the strongest goalkeeper in terms of footwork by Diego D'Antonio.
