Man Utd scouting Brentford keeper David Raya

Brentford keeper David Raya showed within a few seconds of gameplay why Manchester United want to sign him.

The Red Devils are keen to secure a replacement for veteran David De Gea.

Whether the Spaniard renews his deal or not, he is not likely to be first choice for Erik ten Hag next term.

The Manchester Evening News focused on a passage of play from the Brentford and Leicester City game, which saw keeper Raya use his feet to get out of a tough situation.

Raya then played an ideal pass to a teammate and started an attacking move.

De Gea, in contrast, struggles with his feet and often passes the ball out of touch or to an opposition player.
