Man Utd identify Premier League option for David de Gea's replacement after £16.3m deal

Manchester United are considering a move for Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez if contract talks with David de Gea collapse.

De Gea, 32, is a free agent after his contract with the Red Devils expired at the end of June. Talks are ongoing over a new deal, but it's believed United want the Spanish stopper to take a significant pay cut from £375,000-a-week to around £200,000-a-week.

If De Gea doesn't sign an extension, United will look elsewhere. One potential target is Sanchez, a Spain international who has fallen down the pecking order under Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi and once described De Gea as his "role model".
