Manchester United have been linked with summer moves for two goalkeepers, one of which plies his trade in La Liga -the other in the Scottish Premiership.

The Mirror has reported that the Red Devils are weighing up a move for Sevilla stopper Yassine Bounou.

The Canada-born Morocco international has been one of the best keepers in La Liga in this campaign and has 12 top-flight clean sheets to his name from 23 matches.

Only Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro (15) has more La Liga clean sheets than the Sevilla goalkeeper known as Bono.

The report from the Mirror states that United have been watching the 29-year-old for several months and have asked to be kept updated on his situation at the Spanish giants.

The former Girona man has two years to run on his deal with Sevilla and it will cost around £25million to trigger the release clause in that contract.

However, the same report explains that Sevilla’s directors are aware of interest in their keeper and they are keen to extend his deal for a further two years.

And in any new deal, Julen Lopetegui’s side would insert a release clause of around £63m.

David de Gea, who was left out of Luis Enrique’s Spain squad, has 15 months to run on his current Manchester United contract but the Reds do have the option of triggering a 12-month extension.

United’s number one is keen to extend his eleven year stay at Old Trafford and contract talks are expected to accelerate throughout the year.

Dean Henderson is likely to seek a summer move away from the Reds unless there is a change in stance from the next permanent manager on who their number one will be.

The Red Devils have also been linked with a surprise move for Dundee United goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist.

The Tangerines number one is out of contract at the end of the season and looks set to become a free agent.

The Sun claim that United are considering making a move for the 30-year-old to add more cover for de Gea.

The report states that the twenty-time champions sent scout Tony Coton to Tannadice to get a closer look at the Swiss stopper in the 3-0 Scottish Cup defeat to Celtic.

Across all competitions this season, Siegrist has conceded 37 goals from 35 games.
