The red devils had to find the perfect back up keeper for the Manchester United team this next season, and now it seems that the decision has been made and could eventually be confirmed.

Erik ten Hag is set on the idea of having André Onana as the main keeper for Manchester United, and while the fans are excited to see the keeper make his debut in the Premier League season, now it seems that the main issue came when it was time to determine who was going to be the back up keeper for the next season, and now that novel could have come to an end.

The fact is that first Dean Henderson was set to leave the team, and while the deal with Nottingham Forest seems more complicated than expected, the player idea is still to leave the team, mainly because he does want to arrive to a team that would secure him the starting position for the team in the next season, and that could have forced the decision.

On the other hand it has been reported that Matej Kovar is set to leave the team in this transfer window, the main idea is to send him a loan deal to another team, that has put a surprise name ahead of the race of becoming the back up keeper for Manchester United, now that it seems that Tom Heaton would be ready to assume that role for the next season.

Tom Heaton deal

Manchester United Evening News has now reported that Ten Hag had some talks with Tom Heaton in the last hours and that would have impulsed the player to remain with the team, and now it is only a matter of time for the red devils to make the decision official for the position.
