Villarreal goalkeeper Diego Lopez is again in the sights of Manchester United.

Earlier this season, the Spain international admitted he was aware that United were scouting him.

Cadena SER says Villarreal's board expect United to soon make a formal offer for Lopez and are resigned to losing their keeper to the Premiership champs.

Villarreal have already drawn up a shortlist of replacements in anticipation that Lopez will be sold.
