The agent of Manchester United signing Andre Onana admits he had several rival offers this summer.

Onana left Inter Milan for United a fortnight ago.

Agent Albert Botines told CalcioMercato.it: "It started a few months ago.

"Around April, many people started asking about him. Tottenham wanted information, Chelsea showed strong interest. We had meetings in London, and Chelsea also had meetings with Inter.

"But (Erik) ten Hag was a key. We are looking forward to facing great coaches like (Pep) Guardiola and winning titles with Manchester United."
