Manchester United have identified Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak as the man to replace David de Gea if the current United No.1 doesn't agree a new contract and leaves the club in the summer.

United had expected De Gea to sign a new deal, but negotiations have stalled and the Spaniard's current contract expires in June 2020.

AS, however, says United have 'pinpointed' Oblak - who is reportedly open to the idea of leaving Atletico, despite recently signing a new deal until 2023 - as De Gea's replacement.

Oblak has developed into one of Europe's most revered keepers in recent years under Diego Simeone at the Wanda Metropolitana.
