Owen Hargreaves says Andre Onana’s personality and gameplay make him a “unique” signing for Manchester United, making him one of the most "interesting" transfers of the whole window.
The goalkeeper made his Old Trafford bow on Saturday against Lens in what was his third appearance for his new club. The £47.7m Cameroon star was brought into United partly due to his skills with the ball at feet.
Onana has demonstrated this in his first few outings while his vocality was highlighted in his furious reaction to Harry Maguire’s sloppy defending during United’s friendly with Borussia Dortmund.
His shot-stopping has also been noteworthy too, an asset of his game that TNT Sports pundit Owen Hargreaves admires. “Onana is just unique,” he told the Manchester Evening News.

“I don’t think people realise how good a shot-stopper he is. Creating passes, short and long. And he’s got a personality - and he’s won.
“He’s won in places he’s been, whether that’s at Inter or Ajax so I think he’ll have a huge impact on the way Erik ten Hag wants to play. I’m excited to watch him, I think he could be one of the most interesting players signed this summer.”
Meanwhile, Mason Mount also got his first taste of Old Trafford as a United player in Saturday’s friendly, having arrived in time for the first match of the summer against Leeds in Oslo.
Hargreaves describes the midfielder as a “brilliant” recruit for United. He added: “Obviously he had a tricky year at Chelsea but everybody did and from what it looked like so did Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter so it’s hard to critique a player in those moments. But I think Mason is going to add so much to the football club.”
