Manchester United could be set to raid Atletico Madrid for the signing of goalkeeper Jan Oblak this summer, as they prepare for life without David de Gea.

With speculation that the Spanish international is likely to be on his way back to La Liga with a big move to Real Madrid, United have been linked with a number of possible replacements in that position.

Chelsea’s Petr Cech and Tottenham’s Hugo Lloris are among the keepers being looked at by Louis van Gaal, but it now looks like Oblak could be an option for the Red Devils as well, according to the print edition of Spanish publication AS.

Oblak has impressed in his career so far, starring at Benfica before joining Atletico last summer, and he looks a talent who could shine at Old Trafford.
