MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly planning to move for Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer this month rather than wait.
The Red Devils have been left short after Newcastle recalled Martin Dubravka from his loan at Old Trafford.
The 33-year-old Slovakian failed to make a single Premier League appearance for United as he was unable to dislodge No1 David De Gea.
The stopper was restricted to just two Carabao Cup outings following his arrival but is now back at the Toon.
And TalkSPORT are now claiming that United are “ready to bring forward their move” for Sommer after being “short-handed” by Dubravka’s exit.
