Manchester United's long-running goalkeeper saga shows no sign of easing, with the club reportedly turning their attention to River Plate's Santiago Beltran.
According to Metro, United have begun making initial checks on the 21-year-old shot-stopper as they weigh up options for the position. The report suggests the club remain unconvinced by their current options between the sticks, a debate that has followed United for some time now.
Beltran, still just 21, would represent a long-term investment rather than an immediate fix if United were to pursue a move, though at this stage the interest is understood to be at an early, exploratory phase rather than anything concrete.
No further details on valuation, contract length or competing interest from other clubs have been reported, and United have made no official comment on the links. As with most stories at this stage, it remains firmly in speculation territory, but it's another sign that Old Trafford's goalkeeping conundrum is far from resolved heading into the coming transfer windows.
