Onana was a vital member of the Inter team that advanced to the Champions League final the previous season.
Vidic told Manutd.com as reported by the Mirror, after Onana's dramatic Premier League debut against Wolves earlier this week, “I’m expecting him to be a good replacement for David.
“We know how David was important for the squad for many years, but I think Onana can bring something different and, as well, to be important for us in the years to come.
“He was in Inter, he has the experience of playing in a big team, and before [that] he was in Ajax, so all those teams have a winning mentality and they are challenging for the trophies.
“He’s ready to be part of the squad. And he’s ready to compete on a big level.”
