United want to keep current number 1 David de Gea but the club and player are yet to agree a new contract with the Spaniard’s deal expiring in 2020.

David de Gea’s current deal expires in just over a year.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with the 28-year-old who’s thought to be looking for £350,000-per-week.

Dia is not being viewed as an immediate starter at Old Trafford but that he could learn and develop alongside fellow goalkeepers Sergio Romero and veteran Lee Grant.
