New Manchester United signing Andre Onana is training with the first team and integrating with the squad.

After a hectic few days sealing his move and flying to the USA via Manchester, Andre Onana is getting time to spend with his new teammates.

The goalkeeper has been training with the first team in New Jersey, before the squad flew across the States last night to San Diego.

Onana has enjoyed what he has seen so far, lauding the quality in the Manchester United squad.

Andre Onana praises United quality

Andre Onana explained to club media that he has been really impressed by the quality he has seen immediately from his new teammates.

He said: “I had my first training session with them and it’s just amazing the quality here, it’s great.”

He also spoke about his style, and says he moulds his game around situations he sees playing out on the pitch.

Onana explained: “I think a lot of the time we will have possession. Sometimes I have to play higher and sometimes I have to drop.

“It’s just the moments and you have to recognise those moments and from there on, we look forward. But I look at myself as a modern goalkeeper, so I can adapt to any situation.”

Varane excited to play alongside Onana

Onana’s new Manchester United teammate Raphael Varane says he is looking forward to linking up with the goalkeeper.

The centre-back told The MEN: “He arrives with his qualities. He is very good with the ball, he is comfortable with the ball.

“He brings a lot of confidence to the defence. Can’t wait to play with him.”

United face Real Madrid later this week and there is a strong chance Varane gets his wish and Onana is in the starting line-up.
