Manchester United are closing in on a deal to sign Albanian goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha, who is a free agent after leaving Lazio.
United are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper to add competition to David De Gea after Dean Henderson joined Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan arrangement. That move came after the United youth graduate admitted defeat in his bid to usurp De Gea as No.1 at Old Trafford this season.
Reports have previously suggested that De Gea was uncomfortable with the situation that he was not previously established as the undisputed shot-stopper at Old Trafford, as had threatened to be the case when Henderson enjoyed a prolonged resurgence in form in early 2021 under previous boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
