The Spanish journal Nacional has reported that Manchester United already have an agreement in place to sign Andriy Lunin from Real Madrid in the summer.
However, Andre Onana has not lived up to expectations in his maiden campaign in England, and although his form has improved in the second half of the season, Manchester United are still on the lookout for another goalkeeper, and Lunin has emerged as a serious target.
The goalkeeper is about to enter the last year of his contract, so the Spanish giants are open to selling Lunin in order to avoid losing him as a free agent in 2025.

The 25-year-old has been excellent for Real Madrid during Thibaut Courtois’ absence this season. However, he faces the risk of being relegated to the bench next season when Courtois returns to fitness after an ACL injury.
The situation has compelled Lunin to evaluate his future at Real Madrid, and it appears Manchester United are ready to offer him a new challenge in England.
He made nine saves against RB Leipzig in the first leg of the round of 16 and was named man of the match. The goalkeeper was also instrumental when Real Madrid overcame Manchester City in the quarterfinal, as he saved two penalties in the shootout in addition to several parries in open play.
It is yet to be determined what Real Madrid’s asking price for Lunin is; however, Transfermarkt has valued him at £14 million.
Manchester United have also been linked with the signing of Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili by Fichajes, and he is likely to be the alternate choice if Lunin decides to extend his contract at Real Madrid.
