Man Utd signing Onana: How I'd describe my style

Manchester United signing Andre Onana has dubbed himself a "modern goalkeeper".

Onana made the move from Inter Milan a week ago.

He said, "I'm very comfortable playing from the back but it depends. I think the most important thing is to recognise the situation and that's what I do myself: read the situation, especially what the team needs in certain moments.

"When we play, depending on who we play, sometimes you have the possession and sometimes not, so from there you have to be smart and try to help the team. Because most of the time playing with these players is amazing. I had my first training session with them and it's just amazing the quality here. It's great. 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."
