Manchester United are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Croatian shot-stopper Dominik Livakovic.
United are said to be keen to insure themselves against the prospect of losing David De Gea who has already entered the final year of his contract.
The Red Devils are currently locked in contract negotiations with De Gea, but are already lining up potential alternatives.
Mirror UK reports an agreement is between United and De Gea is close, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is taking no chances with the shot-stopper insisting on a £350,000-a-week deal.
Scouts from the Red Devils are now said to have been to Zagreb this week, monitoring keeper Dominik Livakovic in action.
Livakovic has come through the ranks with the Croatian national team, making the preliminary squad that reached the World Cup final in 2018.
The 24-year-old featured against Rosenberg in the Champions League in midweek, as his side won 2-0.
Meanwhile, De Gea was in goal for Man United as the Red Devils suffered a 2-1 embarrassing defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday, August 24.
The shot-stopper's howler at the death saw Patrick Van Aanholt net Palace's winner, just moments after Daniel James cancelling out Jordan Ayew's opener.
