Posting this as I couldn't get a great translation of the original Sponichi article found here. It's worth noting that Sponichi are a sponsor of Urawa so may be privy to some inside information. But they are listed right towards the bottom of the list of sponsors on their website so it may also mean nothing!

Full article:

Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of completing the surprise signing of Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.

The Red Devils have been scouting the 20-year-old Urawa Red Diamonds stopper since 2017 and have now made their move, according to Japanese outlet Sponichi.

They report that United have made a formal offer of £5m for Suzuki, a fee that would make him the most expensive signing in the history of the J League.

The deal is now nearing completion and an announcement could be made imminently.

United's goalkeeper situation has been one of the major talking points of the window so far with David de Gea now officially a free agent.

But this is for second or third keeper spot right?

Can't see DDG staying if we get Onana tbh, so second keeper I'd guess.

Sign him. Sign him yesterday.

Scouting a 20 yr old since 2017 means we started our interest when he was 14 years old... Sounds like bs to me
