Man Utd will face Lyon in Edinburgh on Wednesday before jetting off on their tour of the USA, and it is Ten Hag’s intention to have his former Ajax goalkeeper among his ranks by the time his side tackle Arsenal in New Jersey on Saturday.

Romano reported that Onana was due to fly into Birmingham in the early hours of Wednesday from Turin, with his medical set to take place later today. The signing of the 27-year-old should be completed shortly thereafter.

He will be Man Utd’s third signing of the summer, with Mason Mount and, surprisingly, Jonny Evans having already joined the club.

Telles to leave Man Utd

Man Utd defender Alex Telles is set to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, Romano has confirmed, with a deal to take the Brazil international left-back completed.

The football transfer news expert has given the transfer his famous “here we go” catchphrase, with Man Utd set to receive around €4.6 million for a player who dropped out of favour since the arrival of Ten Hag a year ago.
