Manchester United considering options for goalkeeper transfer ahead of David de Gea talks

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Manchester United are set to wait for clarification on David de Gea's future before making a decision on which goalkeeper to pursue this summer, amid interest in Andre Onana and Justin Bijlow.

De Gea's contract came to an end on Friday and he is now a free agent, but United are set to hold more face-to-face talks with the 32-year-old to see if an agreement can be reached.

The Spaniard got married at the weekend, but talks are set to recommence soon. While United are keen on Inter Milan goalkeeper Onana, who played 145 games under Erik ten Hag at Ajax, they will only sign a new 'keeper for what they consider a "reasonable price" as they battle with financial fair play concerns this summer, having set a budget that limits a net spend to around £120million.

Whether De Gea agrees terms to extend his 12-year stay at the club will be decisive when it comes to the profile of goalkeeper United pursue this summer, with a source insisting they have several "tactical options" for this window.
