Louis van Gaal's Manchester United have launched a £24.7million bid – a British transfer record for a goalkeeper - to land Galatasaray shot stopper Fernando Muslera, reports in Turkey suggest.

With current number one David de Gea still looking likely to leave for home town club Real Madrid, the Red Devils need a ready made replacement to fill the Spaniards boots.

And now reports from Turkish site Sampiy10 (translation required) suggest that United have launched a huge £24.7million bid for the Uruguay international, despite being heavily linked with Tottenham and France keeper Hugo Lloris.
