As Man United are linked with a surprise move for potential Allan McGregor Rangers replacement candidate Benjamin Siegrist, the Red Devils are also mentioned alongside £25m-rated Yassine Bounou.

A big summer is expected at Old Trafford after a disappointing campaign as the club prepare to make a new appointment following the stop-gap measure of bringing in Ralf Rangnick.

Whilst David de Gea, now 31, has been amongst the club’s top performers this season, with the goalie entering the final 18 months of his deal there’s some conjecture about what happens next.

This has led to some rather interesting speculation in the Sun that the Premier League giants could move for Swiss stopper and Dundee United stalwart Benjamin Siegrist, who is out of contract in the summer.

A cost-effective international option, Rangers have also been linked extensively to Siegrist as the Gers assess the future of current number one Allan McGregor.

Rangers have already tied down capable deputy and Scotland international Jon McLaughlin but should McGregor hang up his gloves then a replacement will likely be brought in.

Despite an up-and-down season in Light Blue, McGregor proved his worth in the recent Europa League double-header with Red Star Belgrade.

But Rangers fans who have Benji Siegrist as their first choice to replace the Ibrox legend are boosted by reports of Man United interest in Yassine Bounou.

According to the Mirror, United have made earlier enquiries about the Sevilla goalkeeper and Canadian-born Moroccan international after an impressive season in La Liga.

They are claiming that it will take £25m to prise the 29-year-old away from the club, such is his release clause in a contract that has two years to run.

Should Man United opt for a move for Yassine Bounou, then something tells us they won’t be moving for Rangers-linked Benjamin Siegrist after all.

Benjamin Siegrist and Yassine Bounou aren’t the only two goalkeepers being linked to both Rangers and Man United either.
