Erik ten Hag appears to drop transfer hint as Man Utd exit confirmed

Erik ten Hag could be moving towards making David de Gea his backup goalkeeper at Man United amid reports linking Porto's Diogo Costa and Brentford's David Raya to the club.

On Tuesday, Jack Butland confirmed his departure from Old Trafford following the expiry of his loan deal, leaving ten Hag without a backup goalkeeping option. Tom Heaton is also expected to leave the club, with the expiry of his contract coming on June 30, albeit with the former Burnley and Aston Villa man having an optional year's extension on his deal.

This means that thoughts immediately turn to incoming targets, with both Brentford's David Raya and Porto's Diogo Costa believed to be in the frame for a move to Old Trafford. However, this would throw David de Gea's role into jeopardy, with both players being of the calibre to usurp the stalwart as the club's number one.
