Manchester United will only sell David de Gea to Real Madrid if they can tie up a deal for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak, according to reports in Spain.

Spanish daily newspaper AS is claiming that United have earmarked the Slovenian keeper to replace De Gea this summer and that contact with Oblak has already been made.

They report that United will sell the Spain international to Real but not before agreeing a deal to sign Oblak but claim Atletico are ‘asking for a lot of money’.
