Andre Onana posts a goodbye message to Inter Milan supporters, with the goalkeeper on the verge of joining Manchester United.

Andre Onana has posted a goodbye message to Inter Milan supporters, with the Cameroonian on the verge of being confirmed as Manchester United's new number one goalkeeper.

The 27-year-old has allegedly now completed his medical with the Red Devils and is preparing to link up with his new teammates in the United States for the club's pre-season tour.

Man United are expected to pay £43.8m plus another potential £3.4m in add-ons for the goalkeeper to bring him to Old Trafford during this summer's transfer window.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Onana is heading to New York to join up with his new side ahead of Saturday's pre-season friendly with Arsenal, when he could make his debut.

The former Cameroon international confirmed earlier this week that he was making the move to Man United, leaving Inter after just one season with the club.

Onana has now posted an exit message, revealing that he "fell in love with San Siro" during his time at the club.

"I never imagined that a farewell would be so hard. A year ago I became a Nerazzurro, many people told me that this club and this city had something special. Now I can confirm it," Onana wrote on Instagram.

"In my first days as a Nerazzurro, I realised that this is a family and that being Interisti is a way of understanding life.

"I fell in love with San Siro, la Curva and the city. Now the circumstances are right for me to start a new journey in Manchester. I do it with great enthusiasm, but knowing that I will miss you. Eternal gratitude to all the Interisti. You make this club great.

"Maybe one day our paths will cross again, but now it's time to face new challenges and cheer you on from afar. Players come and go, but the club always remains, and Inter is above everything and everyone."

Onana made the move to Inter from Ajax last summer, and he featured on 41 occasions for the club last season, keeping 19 clean sheets in the process.

The goalkeeper was key to the Italian side reaching the final of the Champions League, keeping eight clean sheets in his 13 appearances in the competition.

David de Gea left Old Trafford on a free transfer at the end of June, and there will now be a new number one at the club for the 2023-24 campaign.

Man United will take on Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund during their pre-season tour of the United States before returning to Europe for friendlies with Lens and Athletic Bilbao.
