The Slovenian-born Atletico Madrid number one has had another fantastic season in La Liga and is now quite rightly regarded as one of the elite goalkeepers in world football.

He kept 20 clean sheets in the Spanish top-flight this season and pulled off an incredible nine saves when his club faced Barcelona earlier this year, earning him a pat on the back from Lionel Messi himself at the full-time whistle.

Oblak would not come cheap and is currently valued at £72 miilion on Transfer Markt, though most would agree that in reality United would need to almost double that to tempt Atletico into a sale.

However, if the Red Devils are serious about their EPL aspirations, Oblak must be on the radar. He is not only capable of filling De Gea's boots but is potentially an all-round better goalkeeper. Oblak could even surpass de Gea if given time and a back-line minus the likes of Ashley Young and Phil Jones.


Manchester United need to begin again. Which one of these goalkeepers would you like to see at United? Let us know in the comments section below.
