Manchester United 'identify Oblak, Pickford as De Gea replacements'

Man Utd hold interest in Oblak, Pickford?

Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak and Everton's Jordan Pickford have reportedly emerged as potential transfer targets for Manchester United.

David de Gea has been the long-standing number one at Old Trafford, but the Spaniard has just over a year remaining on his contract with the Premier League outfit.

United are yet to make a breakthrough in negotiations with the 28-year-old, and according to The Mirror, replacements are starting to be identified ahead of the summer window.

Oblak has established himself as one of the most sought-after goalkeepers in Europe during his time at Atletico, and the Slovenian is valued in the region of £85m.

Pickford is currently nearing the end of his second campaign with Everton, and the Toffees may look to double the £30m fee that they paid Sunderland for the stopper in 2017.
