Gary Neville gives Man Utd seal of approval to make David de Gea replacement transfer

Gary Neville reckons that Brentford's David Raya is capable of 'stepping up' and replacing David de Gea at Manchester United, with both goalkeepers facing uncertain futures.

De Gea, 32, is approaching the final year of his contract with the Red Devils and despite his self-proclaimed confidence that a new deal will be agreed in the near future, there's no sign of confirmation. The four-time Player of the Year won his eighth trophy in 12 years with United on Sunday, registering his 181st clean sheet for the club in their comfortable 2-0 victory over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final.

After breaking Peter Schmeichel's all-time record at Wembley, manager Erik ten Hag classily presented him with a commemorate shirt - but the Dutch tactician could soon be telling him to sit on the bench. The Red Devils have been linked with fellow Spanish shot-stopper Raya, who helped Brentford earn promotion to the top flight two years ago and has continued to shine ever since.
