Andre Onana spotted at Turin airport ahead of flight to Manchester United medical and £47m transfer

Andre Onana was pictured arriving at Turin airport on Tuesday night ahead of jetting off to complete his transfer to Manchester United.

The Red Devils are set to put the goalkeeper through his paces in a medical on Wednesday before confirming his £47million signing.

An initial fee worth just under £44m will be paid to Inter Milan for Onana after the Cameroon international spent only one year at the Italian club, with whom he reached the Champions League final.

A further £3.4m has been agreed in add-ons ahead of him putting pen to paper on a five-year contract, which will include the option for an additional 12 months.

It has been reported that United are hopeful of flying Onana out to their pre-season tour of the United States later this week, should they avoid any issues with obtaining a visa.

Erik ten Hag managed the goalkeeper at Ajax before both left Amsterdam last summer, along with Brazilian winger Antony who has voiced his approval at the prospect of a reunion.

United released David de Gea at the end of this contract last month and are set to make a decision on Dean Henderson’s future amid interest from Nottingham Forest.

Elsewhere on Tuesday, the club confirmed Marcus Rashford’s contract extension up to the summer of 2028.

Veteran defender Jonny Evans has also re-signed on a short-term deal to play for United in their upcoming friendlies against Lyon and Wrexham while he searches for a new club.
