David de Gea could be replaced at Manchester United's number one this summer, although he is expected to sign a new contract with the club.



Much has been said about De Gea's future at United this season, with the goalkeeper having just one year left on his current contract.


Countless campaign mistakes don't help much to think the team would be better off signing a replacement this summer.


Roy Keane wasn't even impressed when the former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper won the Premier League's Golden Glove for keeping a clean sheet.




The errors continued last Saturday for Ilkay Gundogan's second goal as Manchester City beat United in the FA Cup final. And although the club are in talks over the 32-year-old's contract extension, the club continue to be linked with other options.


According to the Daily Mail, it seems the idea is to keep the Spaniard in the squad for next season, but he is unlikely to be the first choice.

Among the options for the club are Brentford goalkeeper David Raya or Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa, with the former possibly cheaper.

There is interest in De Gea with the Spaniard reportedly turning down an offer from an Arab club as he tries to take control of football. Raya still has a year to complete his contract in west London and is said to have turned down two offers from Thomas Franck to stay.

He has been linked to replace Hugo Lloris at Tottenham Hotspur and although he could leave for nothing for a year, Brentford is said to want up to £40m.



The Porto Costa goalkeeper has been linked with United for several months, with the 23-year-old impressing in his first two years as number one choice.


He could cost up to £65m and Ten Hag's side will once again face competition from league rivals, with Newcastle United reportedly interested.


The Red Devils' summer plans have brought into question how long it will take for the Glazers to sell the club, with no preferred bidders named yet. 


Sheikh Jassim made his fifth and final bid for full control of the team and gave the current owners until Friday to respond.
