Manchester United 'consider Nick Pope, Robert Sanchez as David de Gea replacements'

Manchester United have reportedly identified Burnley's Nick Pope and Brighton & Hove Albion's Robert Sanchez as potential replacements for David de Gea during this summer's transfer window.

The Red Devils are said to be keen to bring two new goalkeepers to the club ahead of the 2021-22 campaign, with De Gea being strongly linked with an exit and Sergio Romero set to leave on a free transfer.

According to the Daily Star, the 20-time English champions view Burnley's Pope as a potential replacement for De Gea, who has now returned Manchester after travelling back to Spain for the birth of his first child.

The report claims that Man United have reservations over whether Dean Henderson is ready to be the club's number one stopper at this moment in time.

As well as Pope, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team are also said to be admirers of Sanchez, who became Brighton's number one goalkeeper in the latter stages of 2020.

AC Milan's Gianluigi Donnarumma has also been linked with a possible move to Old Trafford.
