United’s goalkeeping situation has been uncertain this summer, with De Gea leaving the club following the expiry of his contract.
Meanwhile, Dean Henderson is expected to be sold after his loan spell at Nottingham Forest last season.
However, Erik ten Hag has blocked a move for backup keeper Tom Heaton amid his pursuit of Onana.
The Red Devils have agreed personal terms and submitted an improved second bid to Inter Milan for his services.
Onana will not be the only goalkeeper moving to Old Trafford, though, according to reports in Japan.
Sponichi report, via the Daily Mail, that the club have made a formal offer for Urawa Red Diamonds’ Zion Suzuki.
The offer, worth £5million, would make Suzuki the most expensive player in J. League history.
According to the report, United have been tracking the 20-year-old since 2017, with the deal now nearing completion and is close to being announced.
