Manchester United plan to offer David de Gea in a swap deal for Jan Oblak

Manchester United plan to offer David de Gea as a makeweight to sign goalkeeper Jan Oblak from Atletico Madrid this summer, 90min reports.

De Gea has been the regular goalkeeper for the Red Devils over the past decade, but Dean Henderson has recently been preferred ahead of him between the sticks.

The Spaniard currently commands a salary of around £350,000-a-week, and it has been reported that he could be sold to reduce the wage bill this summer.

It is now claimed that United have their sights on landing Oblak, with some of United’s hierarchy unsure whether Henderson should retain the number one role next term.
