Andre Onana has been described as a goalkeeper with "extraordinary qualities" following his move to Manchester United. United have signed the 27-year-old Cameroonian on a five-year deal.

Onana has been signed as a replacement for David de Gea who departed Old Trafford earlier this summer at the end of his contract.

Onana jetted out to the United States to link up with his new United teammates on their pre-season tour. He is yet to make his debut for the Reds following his arrival.
