Manchester United's new signing Andre Onana is set to wear the No 24 shirt this coming season.

The Cameroonian goalkeeper has signed on the dotted line in a big money deal from Inter Milan.

Onana will be United's starting keeper next season, with David De Gea having left the club on the expiry of his contract.

However, Onana has chosen the No 24 shirt instead of the usual No 1 reserved for starting keepers.

The choice is one he has made his entire career, as he wore the same shirt at his previous clubs as well.

Onana is born on February the 2nd, which caused him to use the 2/4 shorthand as his shirt number of 24.
