Manchester United have opened negotiations with Tottenham over the signing of Hugo Lloris, according to reports in France.

The Red Devils are not planning to be in the market for a goalkeeper this summer but the uncertainty surrounding David de Gea's future is forcing them to make contingency plans.

The Spaniard is reportedly wanted by Real Madrid and, with just over one year left on his contract, United maybe forced to sell the goalkeeper.

That scenario has forced Louis van Gaal to consider possible replacements for the 24-year-old, with Lloris at the top of his list.

And now, according to L'Equipe, United have contacted Tottenham ahead of a potential £25m bid for the France international.

Former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes is also being offered as part of a deal which would see Lloris swap White Hart Lane for Old Trafford.
