Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is on Manchester United’s shortlist of candidates to replace David De Gea, according to Daily Telegraph.
Cech has played second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois this season and has been strongly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, gaining interest from the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and other top European clubs.
And, it is now understood that Man United have also joined the race to sign the Czech Republic international.
United boss Louis van Gaal is considering a swoop after reports emerged in Spain that David de Gea has agreed a deal to join Real Madrid this summer on a five year contract.
Chelsea have informed all interested parties that the keeper can leave this summer for a fee of £10m, prompting the United boss to seriously consider a move.
De Gea’s absence does mean that Victor Valdes is the likely candidate to replace the Spaniard between the sticks until a replacement is signed.
