Manchester United are reportedly watching Atletico Madrid star Jan Oblak over concerns over the shape of David de Gea # 1.
Oblak is unsettled at Atletico and is looking for a bigger, more ambitious challenge, with the move to the Premier League at the forefront of his thinking.
The 27-year-old, considered by many to be one of the top three goalkeepers in the world, appears to be unhappy with some of the decisions and instructions from Atletico’s sports director Andrea Berta.

United would like to stay updated on Oblak’s situation as David de Gea is in shape
He is aware that Chelsea would like to sign him, but The Sun claims Manchester United has wanted to be kept up to date on his situation lately due to de Gea’s worrying loss of shape.
Oblak, 27, has a £ 120m buy-out clause in the contract he signed last year and will expire in 2023.
However, a lower value is to be expected, since Atletico was hard hit financially by the coronavirus crisis.
United has made Dean Henderson make his claim, but while the 23-year-old is on the verge of becoming England’s number 1 after an excellent loan season at Sheffield United, there are caveats that he may still be a little inexperienced to to be first choice in Old Trafford.
Blades boss Chris Wilder hopes to borrow Henderson for another year, but United has yet to make a decision about his future.
The other major obstacle for United is selling de Gea, as there are few clubs willing to pay a substantial fee plus his £ 360,000 weekly wage.

Loan star Dean Henderson could be another option for United next season
The Spaniard made some high-profile mistakes this season and has been harshly criticized after failing to get Mason Mount out of the way in his FA Cup semi-final loss to Chelsea last weekend.
Alan Shearer supported Henderson to replace de Gea as number 1 after the defeat.
He said, “I think it’s time (to drop it). It happens over and over.
“I think you’ll bring Henderson back if you think he’ll be number one. He has to bring him back as number one, otherwise he will be borrowed from experience, but has that time come? Yes I think so. ‘
However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opted for de Gea and started it mid-week in a 1-1 draw against West Ham.
