Manchester United could make a move for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak this summer, according to reports.

The Red Devils are preparing to sign a new shot-stopper this summer, with David de Gea having been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

Henderson wants to become the club’s No.1 and is prepared to seek pastures new if he is not given sufficient game time at United.

United are therefore weighing up their options, and Sky Sports report that Oblak is among the names on their wishlist. 

The Red Devils are long-term admirers of the Slovenia international, who has been on Atletico’s books since 2014.

Oblak’s contract contains a £103m buyout clause and United are not prepared to break their transfer record for him.

United have also been watching AC Milan’s Gianluigi Donnarumma and Lille's Mike Maignan.
