Man Utd 'expect transfer breakthrough this weekend' as Ten Hag target gives green light

Andre Onana has reportedly given a move to Man Utd this summer the green light. The Cameroonian shot-stopper is apparently keen on joining the Red Devils as they continue their push to sign him.

According to ESPN, although personal terms are yet to be reached with the player, Onana is said to be keen on the transfer and United remain hopeful they can make a breakthrough in negotiations this weekend. The English giants recently improved their initial bid of £38.7m to £42.7m, although Inter are understood to be looking for a fee of around £50m and aren't expected to accept the second offer.

Ten Hag prefers his goalkeepers to play the ball from out of the back and doesn't think De Gea has what it takes to fulfil those duties. Onana is already used to Ten Hag's system having played under him at his former club Ajax and is seen as the ideal replacement.

Ten Hag is also in the market for a new striker and is actively pursuing Atalanta's Rasmus Hojlund. The 20-year-old is expected to cost somewhere in the region of £85m and so United will have to offload several players this summer to recoup funds for the transfer.
