Manchester United are at a more advanced stage to sign a new goalkeeper than a striker amid plans to reinforce their spine.
United football director John Murtough has held extensive discussions with Inter Milan over Andre Onana and Atalanta regarding a possible deal for centre forward Rasmus Hojlund.
Onana is United's principal target to replace the out-of-contract David de Gea, while the club have held talks with the agent of Urawa Red Diamonds and Japan Under-21 goalie Zion Suzuki. United have not made an offer for the 20-year-old Suzuki.
