Manchester United have made a bid worth €45m (£38.5m) for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana.

The move for Onana is being driven by United manager Erik ten Hag, who managed the Cameroon international at Ajax.

Early suggestions indicate there is a gap in valuation with Inter believed to want closer to €60m (£51.4m), but there is a feeling a compromise can be struck.

United are continuing to look at alternatives if an agreement cannot be reached.

Meanwhile, United remain in talks with Atalanta for striker Rasmus Hojlund.

Again, a gap in valuation exists, but United continue to work on the deal.

Other options include Eintracht Frankfurt's Randal Kolo Muani.

On Wednesday, United confirmed the arrival of England midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea for an initial £55m, making him the club's first summer signing.

'Goalkeeper and striker now priorities for Man Utd'

Sky Sports News reporter Dharmesh Sheth:

"It looks like Manchester United's two priority positions are goalkeeper and striker now. Where the goalkeeper situation sits on the priority list seems to be fluctuating nearly every single week with David De Gea's future so uncertain. He's obviously now out of contract but we've been told dialogue remains open between the club and De Gea over a new contract.

"But United, as any big club would do in that situation, are doing due diligence on other goalkeepers and they have made a move now for Inter Milan's Andre Onana. There is a gap in valuation though, with Inter understood to want around €60m (£51.4m).

"There is a feeling that a compromise can be struck but if it can't, United will look at alternatives to Onana while the De Gea situation is lurking in the background.

"As for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund, a gap in valuation exists in that deal too, but United are continuing to work on it."
