Man Utd are finally getting the goalkeeper they wanted to replace David de Gea with the signing of Andre Onana from Inter Milan.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano finally unleashed his trademark 'here we go' message to his 16m Twitter followers on Sunday evening to denote a deal has been agreed between the Premier League and Serie A giants.

Onana will reunite with his former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford with United sending a fee of €52.5m to San Siro - making Onana the fourth most expensive goalkeeper in football history.
It's believed Onana will sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford and the club will apply for a visa in time for him to join their pre-season tour of the United States.

Onana Man Utd's second summer signing
The capture of Onana fills a massive void in the United squad after long-term goalkeeping star de Gea left the club when his contract expired last month. He had been a fixture between the posts since 2011.
Onana's arrival is the second major signing of the summer for ten Hag, after he captured Chelsea and England midfielder Mason Mount for a fee of £55m.
Now attention at Old Trafford will turn to the search for a striker, with both Tottenham star Harry Kane and young Dane Rasmus Hojlund (Atalanta) seen as potential additions.
