Manchester United have completed the signing of Blackburn Rovers player Solomon Honor following the closure of the transfer window, according to Manchester World journalist Rich Fay.
While the Red Devils failed to add a new first-team player to Michael Carrick's squad before Monday's 7pm deadline, they are continuing to boost their youth ranks with additions that they can develop to give United the best future possible.
Goalkeeper has been an interesting position for Man United in recent years, with current number one Senne Lammens backed up by Altay Bayindir, 39-year-old Tom Heaton and Andre Onana, who is currently out on loan at Trabzonspor.

According to Fay, posting on X on Wednesday morning, Honor has arrived at Old Trafford after making the switch from Blackburn.
The 6 ft 2 stopper joins to boost the academy, with United having a long-term plan to build from within rather than constantly having to rely on bringing in big-money additions externally to boost their squad.
The 19-year-old is expected to link up with the club's Under-21 squad first, where he will look to pick up minutes playing in the Premier League 2 for the Red Devils.
According to Centre Devils, the goalkeeper is seen as a modern-style goalkeeper who is comfortable with the ball at his feet, but he is also renowned for having sharp reflexes and being a confident shot-stopper, particularly in one-on-one situations.
His 6 ft 2 frame also means he is physically strong when competing against the opposition in the air and commands his area well.
Honor never made a first-team appearance for Blackburn after joining them from Man City in 2022, although he did enjoy spells out on loan at Clitheroe and Atherton Collieries.
Andre Onana Will Leave United in 2026

GIVEMESPORT senior reporter Fabrizio Romano has been speaking about what the future holds for Onana in 2026, with the Cameroonian proving to be a transfer flop for the Red Devils.
According to the Italian journalist on his latest YouTube update on Tuesday night, United have decided that the £47m 2023 signing won't continue at Old Trafford beyond this season.
United may not have any issues offloading the 29-year-old with Romano claiming 'several' clubs are interested in the goalkeeper, but one of those is unlikely to be Inter Milan, despite rumours in the closing days of the January transfer window.
