Manchester United are keeping tabs on Dundee United goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist as they prowl the transfer market for another shot-stopper in the wake of question marks over David de Gea's form.
The Red Devils sent their goalkeeping scout Tony Coton to Scotland to watch Siegrist in action against Scottish Premier League leaders Celtic. The club are thought to be looking for cover for their current number one, though there could be room for eventually ousting De Gea from his first-choice status given the Spaniard has been under scrutiny in recent weeks.
30-year-old Siegrist is a free come the end of the season and is rumoured to be viewed as ideal cover for De Gea should the club fail to secure the signature of West Bromwich Albion number one Sam Johnstone who is currently higher on United's transfer wish-list. United scout Coton is already familiar with Siegrist from their shared time at Aston Villa.
