Manchester United could be looking to make an unexpected move for a goalkeeper from one of their rival clubs in the January transfer window.
While Andre Onana has had a good season at the club, he needs competition at the club and the Red Devils need a better number two.
Altay Binder's performance in the League Cup match against Tottenham showed that the Premier League giants need a new and better option as a second choice goalkeeper and someone who can compete with Onana for a place in the starting lineup.
As for their second goalkeeper, Manchester United are looking to sign Leeds United fans' favourite, Illan Meslier.
The goalkeeper has been on the radar of some of the biggest clubs in recent times and reports from The sun It has now been claimed that Manchester United goalkeeping scout Tony Cotton is a fan of the Leeds man and wants to bring the goalkeeper to Old Trafford.
Although Onana's place in the club's starting lineup is not in jeopardy, he needs competition from a goalkeeper that will keep him on his toes.
Manchester United may adjust the goalkeeping department
Bender may be allowed to leave the club in January This would open up a place in the team for a new goalkeeper.
The Leeds United goalkeeper is under contract with the club until the end of next season, meaning his future could be determined next year.
Leeds United will not want to let the goalkeeper leave the club in the January transfer window, but a move to a club like Manchester United could force the goalkeeper to push for a move.
It would be very difficult for a player to turn down the opportunity to jump out of the Championship to play for a club in the Europa League.
It all depends on Leeds and whether they gain promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season. If they fail to achieve their goal, Meslier will be one of the players to exit the club for a new challenge, and this could open the door to a move to Old Trafford.
Along with Bender, Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof could leave the Red Devils soon.
