The Red Devils have intensified their search for competition for David de Gea and have identified Premier League goalkeeper Illan Meslier as a potential option. According to The Athletic, Henderson's strong comments against United at the start of August prompted Ten Hag to demand a like-for-like replacement. The report claims United's goalkeeper budget was initially £1million, but that has since increased to £7m, in line with the Dutch coach's desires. He is understood to want a goalkeeper capable of challenging De Gea immediately, and if the perfect candidate becomes available, that budget may increase.
