Andre Onana has given the green light for Manchester United to sign Rasmus Hojlund as his own move to Old Trafford nears completion.
Onana, 27, is set to become United's second signing of the summer window after Mason Mount, who joined the club in a £55m move from Chelsea earlier this month.
United have agreed to pay Inter Milan a fee of €51m (£43.7m) plus €4m (£3.4m) in add-ons for the Cameroon international.
Onana is expected to travel to the UK this week to undergo a medical with the Premier League club.

He is set to become the permanent replacement for David de Gea, who left United last month when his contract expired.
With a deal for Onana close to being completed, United have turned their attention to their next summer transfer target.
They are in talks to sign Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund, who has already agreed personal terms with the English club.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims United are preparing their opening bid for the Denmark international, who scored 10 goals in 34 games last season.
"Manchester United are preparing their opening bid for Rasmus Hojlund! Told personal terms are 100% agreed. He wants United," tweeted Romano.
"Atalanta told United they don’t want 3 players offered in the deal after initial talks. Asking price around €65/70m. Next step: official bid."
Onana backs United to sign Hojlund
Onana appears to have given the green light for United to sign Hojlund after coming up against the Dane in Serie A last season.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted that Onana's Instagram account had 'liked' an image on 443's account, which detailed Romano's update on Hojlund's proposed move to United.
Onana is unlikely to have completed his deal in time to join the United squad for their pre-season fixture against Lyon in Edinburgh on Wednesday.
Erik ten Hag's side will then travel abroad for their tour of the United States, with their third warm-up game coming against Arsenal in New Jersey on Saturday.
