Manchester United are keeping tabs on Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret ahead of a possible move to sign a replacement for David De Gea, according to reports in the British media.
The Daily Star is reporting that the Red Devils have been “keeping close tabs” on the Napoli shot-stopper this summer as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to strengthen his options between the posts ahead of next season.
De Gea’s future at Old Trafford has been a major talking point over the last few weeks due to his patchy form for the Red Devils this season.
According to the same story, Manchester United have sent scouts to watch Meret in action “several times” this season to monitor his progress.
Italian shot-stopper Meret, 23, made 22 Serie A appearances for Napoli this season as he helped them to finish in seventh place in the table.
