Five David De Gea replacements as Manchester United and Real Madrid meet over transfer, including Hugo Lloris

Manchester United and Real Madrid are meeting on Monday to discuss the future of David De Gea, according to Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri.

5) Hugo Lloris, Tottenham Hotspur

Proven in the Premier League after three years with Spurs, and has confirmed that he is eyeing a move to a Champions League side [Sky Sports].

The Daily Mirror think the Red Devils could be that side if De Gea moves on.


4) Jasper Cillessen, Ajax

Louis van Gaal had the Dutchman as his Number One when he was in charge of the Netherlands national team, and is keen on a reunion, according to the Daily Star. The 26-year-old has never left the Eredivisie though, so may need some time to adjust were he to arrive in England.

3) Keylor Navas, Real Madrid

If De Gea does join Los Blancos then it will leave the Costa Rican on the bench for another season. After proving his ability at the World Cup last summer, Navas would be a great addition.

United seem to know this, and have asked for him in return for their stopper [Daily Express].

2) Sergio Romero, Free Agent

Worked with van Gaal during his tenure at AZ Alkmaar, and is another who impressed at the World Cup; The Guardian understand a move is close.

However, having been second choice at both Sampdoria and AS Monaco, is he really good enough for the Red Devils?

1) Fernando Muslera, Galatasaray

The 29-year-old has already been the subject of a £24.7 million bid from United according to the Metro.

With his strengths including his agility and ability to deal with crosses, the Uruguayan could be perfect for the Premier League.
