It’s understood that a deal in the region of £43мillion plus add-ons is set to Ƅe coмpleted this week once Onana has agreed personal terмs.

Insiders say negotiations are entering the final stage and they do not anticipate any proƄleмs in the 27-year-old keeper teaмing up with his forмer Ajax Ƅoss Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.

Onana is set to become United’s new No.1 after the club triggered a 12-month extension in Tom Heaton’s contract to keep the veteran keeper as back-up for another season. Heaton is expected to play in United’s first pre-season friendly against Leeds in Oslo on Wednesday.

Dean Henderson has also returned to United after a season on loan at Nottingham Forest and remains another option if there are any snags in the Onana deal, although Henderson is currently recovering from an operation on a thigh muscle.

However, Henderson has made it clear that he doesn’t want to be on the bench and is primed to complete a permanent deal to Forest worth up to £20m if Onana joins United to become their second signing of the summer after Mason Mount moved to Old Trafford from Chelsea for £60m.

Heaton and Henderson are expected to be in the squad for United’s first pre-season friendly against Leeds in Oslo on Wednesday before the squad leave on tour for the US next week.

United will hope to have the Onana deal concluded before the tour begins so he can become their second signing of the summer after Mason Mount moved to Old Trafford from Chelsea for £60m.

In an emotional statement on Saturday, De Gea outlined his desire to pursue a ‘new challenge’ after his lengthy stint at Old Trafford.
