When Andre Onana could make pre-season debut for Manchester United
Manchester United are relaxed about when Andre Onana is able to join up with the first-team on pre-season tour.
United have agreed to sign goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan in a 55m euro (£47.2m)deal, but whether he can fly to the USA with the squad on Wednesday evening depends on when the paperwork and medical are complete.
Sources are relaxed about the situation and if a deal for Onana is not finalised in time for him to fly with the squad, he will join up later in the week, meaning the goalkeeper could feature against Arsenal in New Jersey this weekend.

United have been able to reach an agreement with Inter Milan after positive discussions in recent weeks and they will pay £43.8m with a potential £3.4m in add-ons dependent on performance and success.
Erik ten Hag identified Onana as his prime choice to replace David de Gea who recently departed from the club following the expiry of his contract. He is set to become United's second signing of the summer after the £60m Mason Mount.

Onana worked with Ten Hag at Ajax and he made over 200 appearances in Amsterdam.
