Manchester United are in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer and could explore the Italian market once again.
Ruben Amorim’s full focus is on the Europa League as he looks to bring Champions League football to Manchester United.
United beat Athletic Club 3-0 in the Europa League last week, taking a huge first-leg lead ahead of Thursday night’s second leg.
Amorim will look to finish the job off, with Ineos working away in the background on potential additions for the summer.
Le Havre talent Enzo Kana-Biyik is poised to join United and goalkeeping additions will be high on the priority list.
Tom Heaton could stay at United, but Altay Bayindir is expected to leave Old Trafford in search of first-team action.

Torino stance on Manchester United target Vanja Milinkovic-Savic
Andre Onana is wanted in Saudi Arabia and the United stopper’s poor form this season means an exit cannot be ruled out.
United are looking at other goalkeepers and a rather familiar face is now on the radar.
Reports suggest United want Torino’s Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and have made contact for a summer move.
The giant Serbian has become one of the top goalkeepers in Serie A, as seen in the statistics provided by SofaScore below.
Tuttomercatoweb now report that Torino are planning talks with Milinkovic-Savic, to explore whether his €20million (£17million) release clause can be removed or increased.
Milinkovic-Savic would surely demand higher wages to agree to that deal, but Torino are trying to quickly speak to the Serbian stopper ahead of the summer transfer window, in an attempt to squeeze more money out of a potential exit.
The report even claims that Torino have started eyeing up potential replacements – including former Liverpool stopper Loris Karius.
Karius currently plays for Schalke in his native Germany and has yet to really get his career back on track after leaving Liverpool.
Torino seemingly fancy Karius, though, and may well move to sign him if United pounce for Milinkovic-Savic.
Why Milinkovic-Savic left Manchester United
United raided Vojvodina to sign Milinkovic-Savic back in 2014, spotting real potential in the Spanish-born stopper.
United allowed the 6ft 8in goalkeeper to stay with Vojvodina for another year, but Milinkovic-Savic couldn’t obtain a work permit to play in England.
That resulted in United reluctantly allowing Milinkovic-Savic to leave permanently, joining Lechia Gdansk in Poland.
Milinkovic-Savic saw his United dream taken from him before it ever really began, and it took a while for him to blossom as a top goalkeeper.
After fairly uneventful loan spells with SPAL, Ascoli and Standard Liege, Milinkovic-Savic has kicked on as Torino’s first-choice goalkeeper and a regular with Serbia.
The 28-year-old may finally have the chance to shine for United, but whether he is viewed as first-choice or competition remains to be seen.
