Manchester United are keen to re-sign David de Gea to a short-term contract.

The experienced goalkeeper remains a free agent after coming off contract at Old Trafford over the summer.

The Sun says United want to deal in De Gea as cover with Andre Onana to play for Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations in January.

Onana's decision to come out of international retirement will leave United short, with Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton their two other senior keepers.

So the club are ready to turn to De Gea — having released him just months ago

The Spaniard, 32, spent 12 years at Old Trafford before he left when his contract expired.
