Manchester United have reportedly joined the chase for Independiente goalkeeper Oscar Ustari.

Reports in Argentina suggest United have expressed an interest in the highly-rated keeper and that a club official has travelled to South America to hold talks with Independiente.

Independiente president Julio Comparada says he has not had any contact with United regarding Ustari, but admitted they could consider any offer for the player.

"I have heard in the radio what has been said about that Manchester United are interested in our goalkeeper but I haven't received any offer yet," Comparada told the Argentine press.

"Maybe someone has got in touch with the player. We aren't doing anything for selling him because we aren't currently in a financial hurry.

"Anyway, if there is a proposal that is very interesting for the player and the club then we will analyse it."
