Andre Onana. �s stint as Manchester United. �s number one was supposed to herald a new dawn.

The identity of this European club remains closely guarded, but the development throws the entire situation into interesting relief. For Onana, a clinical and resilient performer on his day, the prospect of a permanent move away from England would give him a clean slate.
