Andre Onana, 27, is set to sign for United after a deal worth up to £47.2MILLION was finally sorted with Inter Milan.
The keeper has already flown in and will put pen to paper on a five-year deal, with the option of a sixth, after undergoing his medical.
However, that is only one part of Erik ten Hag’s goalkeeping problem resolved.
United stopper Dean Henderson spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest after a fall-out with the club.
He is being heavily linked with a permanent move to the City Ground after recovering from the thigh surgery that ruled him out for the last few months of the campaign.
Henderson recently claimed that he “p***ed off the Dutch manager” and believes “he is not in line for a comeback” as he revealed he did not want Ten Hag to see him training as he believed the boss would want to keep him.
And backup goalie Tom Heaton is also wanted by both Luton Town and Everton.
That has left Ten Hag searching for another keeper to join his squad with the above two expected to be given the green light to leave should they get adequate cover.

Now Posta report have claimed that United were looking to activate the £5.2m release clause in the 25-year-old Bayindir’s contract.
But the Turkish international has reportedly turned down a potential move to Old Trafford as he has no desire “to play second-fiddle” to Onana.
And this update states that he is instead set to join Ajax.
He will become the Dutch side’s new No.1 with their current first-choice goalie Geronimo Rulli expected to be sold.
