Update

Here are 4 goalkeepers targeting Manchester United to replace De Gea.

Manchester United may be looking for a new person to be their main goalkeeper. David de Gea, who has defended the Red Devils for 11 seasons, will face the end of his career at Old Trafford.

The Spanish goalkeeper only has less than a season left on his contract at Manchester United. Meanwhile, the offer of an extension issued by Manchester United's management did not go down.

The decision to extend David de Gea's contract will be very important for Manchester United. De Gea has a big salary, but it is balanced with his role at Manchester United the last few seasons.

Manchester United management will in the near future propose a contract extension option for De Gea. However, they have also opened up an alternative option to sign a replacement for De Gea if the extension deal fails.

If the contract extension fails, who will replace Manchester United's main goalkeeper? Here are four goalkeepers that Manchester United are targeting to replace David de Gea.

1. Diego Costa



Diogo Costa is included in the ranks of David de Gea's replacement as Manchester United's main goalkeeper. The Portuguese goalkeeper is a pretty good choice considering his improving performance this season.

The 23-year-old goalkeeper has impressed with FC Porto this season. Of the 13 matches played, Costa was able to keep seven clean sheets and conceded only 12 goals.

However, Manchester United must put in more effort to sign Diogo Costa, who has a contract with FC Porto until 2026.But Manchester United could have brought in this young goalkeeper by redeeming his release clause of around 60 million euros.

2. Jordan Pickford


Jordan Pickford's slick performance in the Premier League this season has him able to place him as a potential replacement for David de Gea. Erik Ten Hag also asked Manchester United to monitor the situation of the Everton goalkeeper.

The 28-year-old goalkeeper was able to attract the attention of Manchester United thanks to his toughness at the start of the season. Erik Ten Hag is interested in Pickford's appearance, which became Man of the Match when he managed to hold Liverpool to a draw.

Moreover, Pickford has a great opportunity to be brought to Old Trafford. The reason is that his contract at Everton had only one season left before finally being a free transfer.

3.Illan Meslier



Apart from Pickford, there is one Premier League goalkeeper who is able to attract the attention of Manchester United. Illan Meslier is one name that appears in the ranks of David de Gea's replacement goalkeeper at Manchester United.

The Leeds United goalkeeper has performed quite well in several Premier League matches this season. Meslier is one of seven goalkeepers with the highest number of saves in the Premier League with a total of 29 saves.

Although not as good as Pickford's statistics, Meslier has one factor that can make him a leading name at Manchester United. Meslier, who is only 22 years old, is a long-term option like David de Gea, who was brought in in 2011.

4. Odysseas Vlachodimos


Another goalkeeper who has the potential to replace David de Gea at Manchester United is Odysseas Vlachodimos. Benfica's goalkeeper is indeed on the rise thanks to his slick performance.

Vlachodimos was able to bring Benfica to the top of the Portuguese League this season with the status of the team that conceded the fewest goals. Vlachodimos also has impressive statistics in the Champions League, conceding only three goals so far.

Vlachodimos has kept a total of nine clean sheets and conceded only 10 goals in 17 matches. The 28-year-old goalkeeper is also an option that is quite relevant with the remaining contract of less than two seasons at Benfica.
