MANCHESTER UNITED have received a boost in their transfer pursuit of Andre Onana as Inter Milan look for a replacement, reports say.
United have now made two bids for Inter’s No1 with the improved offer worth around £43million including add-ons.
And personal terms are also said to have been agreed with the Cameroonian international.
Facing the prospect of losing Onana, Inter have opened talks with Bayern Munich for Yann Sommer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Sommer signed for Bayern in as an emergency replacement for Manuel Neuer, who broke his foot on a skiing holiday a month earlier.
The Swiss stopper made 25 appearances in the second half of the season and helped Bayern win the Bundeliga title.

But with Neuer back training again ahead of the new season, Sommer faces an uncertain future in Munich.
He joined the German giants for £8.3m from rivals Borussia Monchengladbach.
And he is believed to have a clause in his contract that allows him to leave for the same fee should it be matched.
United’s pursuit of Onana is set to rumble on with Inter holding out for a little more than £50m.

But the Italians could reduce their asking price to £47m to get the deal done as they look to raise funds to sign Romelu Lukaku permanently.
United will hope to have the Onana deal wrapped up by the time they head off on their US tour on July 20.
It comes after David de Gea’s contract expired and forgotten man Dean Henderson readies for talks with the Old Trafford brass.
