Manchester United appear to have opened talks with Aalesund over Denmark goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard, but are not in for David de Gea.
The Norwegian club's chairman Bjarne Haagensen has revealed he is currently in England with Lindegaard's agent, Henrik Hoff, to talk with United. Haagensen admitted that a deal to take the 26-year-old to Old Trafford could be just hours away.
"Henrik and I are in place in Manchester," Haagensen told TV2.
Asked if a deal was close, he responded: "It is. We are in the middle of it. I can't say more right now. We will send a press release in three or four hours."
Lindegaard himself is returning to his club after keeping a clean sheet against Czech Republic - but he would not comment on the rumours of an imminent switch.
"I have only heard the rumours about United, I have absolutely no comment," he told VG.
It had been reported earlier on Thursday that United were close to agreeing a £15million swoop for Atletico Madrid stopper De Gea, but the Spanish club have denied it.
Atletico president Enrique Cerezo said: "Nobody has spoken with us. Nor do I have any idea (about this matter)," Cerezo was quoted as saying today by Spanish newspaper AS.
"We hope that he will be a Rojiblanco player for a long time."
