Manchester United is on the verge of securing a significant addition to their squad, as they close in on the signing of Inter Milan goalkeeper, Andre Onana.

The 27-year-old Cameroonian shot-stopper is poised to replace long-time number one David de Gea, who recently bid farewell to the club after an impressive 12-year stint.

After fruitful discussions between Manchester United and Onana's representatives on Sunday, it's understood that an agreement has been reached for a five-year contract, with the option of extending it by another year.

While some details of the deal are yet to be finalized, it appears increasingly likely that Onana will complete the move just in time to join the team's tour of the United States later this week.

Manager Erik ten Hag, who knows Onana well from their time together at Ajax, believes the talented goalkeeper can provide the goalkeeping solution he has been seeking since taking the reins at Manchester United over a year ago.

Onana's impressive career at Ajax, spanning seven and a half years, paved the way for his move to Inter Milan in July 2022.

During his tenure at Inter, he displayed remarkable performances, keeping eight clean sheets in 24 Serie A games as the club finished third. He also excelled in the Champions League, recording eight clean sheets in 13 matches, the highest number for any goalkeeper in the prestigious competition.

In the Champions League final against Manchester City in June, Onana displayed his skills, despite Inter's 1-0 loss.

Upon completing the transfer, Onana will become Manchester United's second summer signing, following the acquisition of midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea for an initial £55m.
