Man Utd and Chelsea keeping tabs on Brighton star?

Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly keeping tabs on Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

United are currently assessing their goalkeeping options with David de Gea's deal due to expire at the end of the season.

They are reluctant to keep De Gea on his current £375,000-a-week deal and this could pave the way for his departure.

Sanchez has been identified as a target for manager Erik ten Hag, but the Red Devils could face competition from Chelsea.

Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga have shared the goalkeeping duties this term, but there could be a reshuffle soon.

There are suggestions that the duo could be shown the exit door next summer with Sanchez taking over the gloves.

Gabriel Slonina, who was signed earlier this year, has been fancied to become an understudy to the Spanish star.

Sanchez has been chosen by Spain for the World Cup, but he may not play any part with Unai Simon being first-choice.
