Manchester United ready to sell David de Gea to Real Madrid for £60m... but who will replace him at Old Trafford?

As reported by Sportsmail's Chris Wheeler this week, Manchester United are already lining up potential replacements for David de Gea ahead of his expected £60million move to Real Madrid.

The Spain No 1 has been courted by Real for several seasons now and came very close to joining them in August 2015 before signing a new deal at Old Trafford.

But with the 26-year-old still yearning for a move back to his home town, where he came through the ranks at Real's rivals Atletico Madrid, Mourinho is ready to change his No 1 this summer.

After calling De Gea's focus into question of late and dropping him for Sergio Romero - who will stay at the club as reserve goalkeeper - Mourinho is scouring Europe to find the most adequate replacement for United's star man.
