Manchester United are ready to hire a goalkeeper recruitment analyst.
With David De Gea out of contract at the end of the season, Manchester United will have to identify a list of possible replacements if they decide to allow him to leave or if they fail to agree the terms of a new deal.
De Gea has shown signs of improvement of late with regards to his ability to play with the ball, which is a key component of how Erik ten Hag wants his Manchester United side to play.

Now, the Manchester Evening News has reported that Manchester United are in the process of hiring a goalkeeper recruitment analyst to find first-team targets.
The report states that the analyst will focus on data to support their decision-making process.
This could be an indication that Manchester United are considering replacing De Gea and may not offer the Spaniard a new contract. However, allowing such a valuable player to leave without paying a transfer fee doesn’t make much sense, so extending his contract to maintain his value may be in the club’s interest.
