Manchester United are again eyeing Villarreal goalkeeper Diego Lopez.

If the Spanish outfit fail to qualify for the Champions League next season, the 27-year-old will look for a move - with United boss Sir Alex Ferguson poised, says the People.

United had put Barcelona's Victor Valdes at the top of their list of potential long-term replacements for Edwin van der Sar.

Valdes' contract runs out in 2010 and Barca have stalled over giving the homegrown keeper the new deal he wants. But two stunning performances in the Champions League against Chelsea, have turned things back in Valdes' favour.
