Manchester United 'want Hugo Lloris if David De Gea leaves'

Manchester United will reportedly look to tempt Hugo Lloris away from Tottenham Hotspur if David De Gea joins Real Madrid this summer.

De Gea's future at Old Trafford has been the subject of intense speculation in recent weeks, with suggestions that Real could offer United Gareth Bale in a bid to land the Spanish goalkeeper.

The Mirror claims that the Red Devils have been monitoring Lloris since his arrival at White Hart Lane and will move for the French international in the event that Los Blancos are successful in their pursuit of De Gea.

De Gea's agent Jorge Mendes has given hints that his client will remain in England, but the speculation has failed to cease.

If United were to turn to Lloris, the Spurs stopper is likely to be expensive, having only recently signed a new five-year contract with the Lilywhites.
