Career
Onana started his professional career with Ajax in 2015, when he won both the Eredivisie and the KNVB Cup. In 2022, he joined Inter Milan on a free transfer. He has since won the Supercoppa Italiana and Coppa Italia for the club.
Onana has also represented Cameroon in many tournaments, including the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He announced his retirement from international football in December 2022, but then changed his mind and was returned to the squad in August 2023.
He joined Manchester United in the summer of 2023 after his impressive tenure at Inter Milan, with an incredible final against Pep Guardiola’s side in the 2023 UEFA Champions League final, but has not been able to gain his form at Manchester United.
Onana is an exceptionally talented goalkeeper with a promising future. He is expected to remain a key player for both Manchester United and Cameroon in the coming years.
Style of play
Onana is a sweeper-keeper with excellent distribution skills. He frequently comes out of his box to assist with play development and is well-known for his ball confidence and passing range. Onana had the most touches of the ball outside of the box (26) of any goalkeeper in a World Cup match since records began in 1966. According to UEFA’s Technical Observers’ assessment in the 2022-23 Champions League, he resembles a “holding midfielder at times”.
In July 2023, he was described as “a modern keeper… with the technique of an outfield player”
