Manchester United appear to be planning for life after David de Gea after the representatives of Altetico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak jetted in to the city.

The Reds' goalkeeper has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid after previously coming perilously close to moving to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2015.

Mourinho's remark that the 26-year-old was 'sleeping' towards the end of the 0-0 draw with West Brom earlier this month is believed to have irked the Spaniard .

And De Gea has reportedly put his £3.85m luxury home in Bowdon up for sale fuelling talk of a big-money move to Madrid in the summer.

One replacement Mourinho appears to be looking at is Atletico Madrid stopper Oblak, who was named La Liga's best goalkeeper last season after conceding just 18 goals.

MEN Sport understands the Slovenian's representative was in the UK this week for talks ahead of a potential move to Old Trafford in the summer.

Oblak has an £85m release clause in his contract at Atletico and three clubs are believed to be in the running for his signature.

The Slovenian, who speaks fluent English, is 'very close' to team-mates Antoine Griezmann and Jose Gimenez, who have both been linked with summer moves to Old Trafford.

"I think for every player it is an honour to come to the UK and play for clubs like this one," a source close to Oblak previously told MEN Sport.

"If De Gea goes back to Spain, everything is possible."

Another name who has been mentioned as a possible replacement for de Gea is AC Milan stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
