Manchester United have reportedly taken an interest in signing Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
United are well stocked for options between the sticks, the likes of Dean Henderson and Tom Heaton acting as backup to first-choice stopper David De Gea.
However, the longevity of each of the trio is in doubt for varying reasons, a scenario which may lead to United assessing their options next summer.
According to the Daily Mail, goalkeeping scout Tony Coton was sent to watch Meslier in action against Manchester City on Tuesday night.
The 21-year-old conceded seven goals as the Premier League leaders ran riot at the Etihad Stadium, the Lilywhites unable to repeat the high level that they had produced at Chelsea three days earlier.
The Frenchman only penned a new five-year contract in August, leaving Leeds in a strong position if any offers arrive for the signature of one of their key men.
