Andre Onana becomes United’s second signing of the summer behind only Mason Mount. But he’s a huge coup for the club, as they get exactly the kind of player they need, at a position where there is a void, at a great price.

Also, this transfer deal means that back up goalkeeper Dean Henderson will now get his wish and leave. He’ll move to Nottingham Forest, this time on a permanent basis, for a deal worth as much as £20 million.
