Handanovic unhappy with Man Utd keeper Onana as Inter Milan teammate

Former Inter Milan captain Samir Handanovic was unimpressed by Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana last season.

The pair eventually struck a friendship last season, but Handanovic admits he was unhappy with Onana's attitude in the first weeks of his arrival from Ajax.

"I wasn't a fan of his behavior in those first two months when he wasn't playing," Handanovic told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I was happy that he said he had had a difficult start at the club. It was only when he left that he told the truth.

"I have to admit that I have always been consistent with him and willing to help him."

The 39-year-old Slovenian lost the competition to Onana and ended up on the bench in his final year.

"But no one said that I had injuries last season. A wrist injury, a broken finger and a calf strain. But I was always on the bench for the team, even when I wasn't fit enough to play. I would never work against the team, because of my feeling for the club and the fans."
