Man United want Benfica goalkeeper as De Gea replacement?

Manchester United are reportedly considering a swoop for Benfica goalkeeper Odisseas Vlachodimos as a potential replacement for David de Gea.

De Gea is said to be no closer to signing a new contract at Old Trafford, which could lead to the Red Devils selling the Spain international this summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer at the end of next season.

A number of goalkeepers have been linked with potential moves to the 20-time English champions, including Barcelona's Jasper Cillessen and Ajax's Andre Onana.

According to Sapo Desporto, Vlachodimos is also being considered by United, with the 25-year-old impressing for Benfica during the 2018-19 season.

Indeed, the Greece international kept 19 clean sheets for the title-winning Portuguese club during the recent campaign, having arrived from Panathinaikos in last summer's transfer window.
