REVEALED: Man Utd boss Mourinho taps Raiola for De Gea replacement

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has identified his replacement for David de Gea.

With Real Madrid intensifying the pressure on De Gea to demand a transfer in the coming weeks, Mourinho has a contingency plan in place.

Don Balon says Mourinho has tapped super agent Mino Raiola to let him know he's interested in AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Donnarumma, via Raiola, is stalling on new contract talks with Milan and is ready to leave should they fail to qualify for Europe.

And if De Gea chooses to quit United for Real, Mourinho will immediately move for the wonderkid as a direct replacement.

Raiola already boasts Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Sergio Romero, Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic as clients at United.
