JAN OBLAK is wanted by Manchester United - if David de Gea leaves for Real Madrid.

Jose Mourinho fears De Gea will leave and has told his keeper he wants 100 per cent from him until the end of the season, when the pair will then sit down to discuss the Spaniard's future.

And  report that Mourinho wants Atletico stopper Oblak to step into the void if De Gea leaves. 



Oblak has a €100million (£85m) release clause but United are unlikely to shell out that figure.

The Slovenian is the latest in a line of brilliant young Rojiblanco keepers to have come through the ranks at the Vicente Calderon.

De Gea made 85 appearances between 2009 and 2011 before leaving for Old Trafford in a £17.8m deal.

The Spanish club then loaned Thibaut Courtois for the next three seasons, before the Belgian returned to parent club Chelsea to become No1 from Petr Cech.

Oblak then established himself as Atletico's first-choice keeper 12 months later and has not looked back since.

Joe Hart is another keeper on United's radar and could cross the Manchester divide if Mourinho is prepared to part with £30m.

And Spanish press have linked the Red Devils both a £25m move for Benfica's Ederson.
