A Manchester United fan could soon be their next goalkeeper.

Talk of Oblak comes at a good time, with uncertainty continuing to hang over David de Gea's future at United.

TOP STORY – OBLAK EYES UNITED

Atlético's exodus could continue, with ESPN FC claiming Jan Oblak wants to leave LaLiga's runners-up following broken promises over his future.

Oblak is apparently keener on Premier League side United than Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain as Antoine Griezmann prepares to leave after the departures of captain Diego Godín, Lucas Hernández, Juanfran and Filipe Luis.

The 26-year-old only signed a new Atlético deal until 2023 earlier this year. The report is music to the ears of United fans, with De Gea no closer to signing a new contract amid reported interest from PSG.
