How Man Utd will line up with Onana and Mount
Manchester United have announced the signing of Andre Onana today, having already completed a deal for Mason Mount.
The pair will immediately strengthen Erik ten Hag's starting eleven heading into the 2023-24 season.
And the Red Devils' business is not finished there. They are looking to sign a striker in the window - most likely Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta.

How will Man Utd line up?
Onana - who won the Dutch domestic treble under Ten Hag at Ajax in 2019 - will replace David de Gea in goal.
The back four is beginning to look settled, with Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez taking up the centre-back positions.
There looks to be no way back for Harry Maguire, who has been stripped of the captaincy.
While Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka should be the preferred full-back duo.

Hojlund would undoubtedly lead the line, with Marcus Rashford and Antony for company in the final third. The Atalanta youngster averaged a goal-involvement well inside every two games last season.
Behind them will likely be a midfield three of Mount, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes, with Christian Eriksen the first option from the bench.
Ten Hag used a three-man midfield at Ajax, and Mount's acquisition allows him to do so again at Old Trafford.
