Manchester United are ready to agree a deal for Croatia international Dominik Livakovic.
United have certainly made improvements under Erik ten Hag this season. The club are entrenched in a Champions League spot, when they won the Carabao Cup in February - their first silver trophy of any kind in six years.
Furthermore, the Old Trafford club have reached the final of the FA Cup, where they will face rivals Manchester City, who are well on their way to a treble.
However, United's recruitment team will be watching over the summer as the club look to restart after a generally positive first season under Ten Hag. Advertisement
United will likely prioritize a striker in the next transfer window, with Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen considered their top targets.
Furthermore, as the club are in talks to extend the contract of longtime goalkeeper David De Gea, Ten Hag is also said to be keen to sign a new goalkeeper.
Livakovic at Man United?

Croatian outlet Jutarnji have claimed United are interested in signing Livakovic and are willing to pay the goalkeeper's €10m (£8.8m) release clause.
The publication claims a transfer is "absolutely possible" although the 28-year-old has also attracted interest from Villarreal, Galatasaray and Real Sociedad. However, a move to Old Trafford may be the most likely move, given that Livakovic shares the same agent as Luke Shaw.
The Croatian number one player, who has a contract with Dinamo Zagreb until 2024, has made 278 appearances for the HNL giants, keeping 128 clean sheets in that time.

Even if De Gea extends his 12-year spell at United, Ten Hag will need new goalkeeper options.
Dean Henderson, who spent the season at Nottingham Forest, looks set to leave Old Trafford permanently, with Jack Butland only on loan and Tom Heaton out of contract at the end of the season.
