Best GK at the world cup. Sell Henderson for 25 - 30 and buy this guy for 10. Seems like a great signing, a backup to push De Gea for a year or two, then can take over.
Even if its just to be the back up and replace DDG for penalties.. it would be worth paying 10m for him.
Looks like a bargain but then I have never seen him play other than a couple of games at the World Cup, would love to see a bit more of a scouting report on him as those games could be an anomaly.
Croatian De Gea. I’d be very disappointed if he was the keeper we bring in.
If the plan is to extend De Gea on severely reduced wages and get this guy in for only €10m then I’m just about okay with that.
Would still prefer us to be ballsy and get a new GK in as I think it would have just as much, if not more impact than a DLP in terms of our build up play.

Wouldn’t be a surprise. Henderson will go, Butland linked with Rangers today.
Okay for back up. But very disappointing if he is to be our new number 1.
Would mean we are going into next season with DDG as the first choice.
Oooh yes, he was properly impressive in Qatar. I like this link and 10m is a bargain. If he doesn’t work out we could make a profit! 
Go spend the money and get us out Alisson/Ederson signing our manager needs.
I think not having the money is the issue. Links like this make me think we are strapped for cash. If true, of course.
I wonder if that’s it. Given Livakovic’s style is incredibly similar to DDG it might be that we’re scouting and sounding out these players in case the ownership doesn’t change. There will be no sweeping revolution if the Glazers are still in charge over the summer so the defence will probably stay relatively similar to how it is now, hence the links to this lad.
He didn't seem to me as a GK who is good with his feet.. But as a backup and for 10m why not
@Real Name I'll defer to your judgement mate! Excited by this?
That doesn't even make sense why United wouldn't want a more rounded keeper if they are spending money even if it's on the lower side and why would United be scouting similar players as De Gea when it's clear as day how much chaos and panic it would continue to create .
I didn’t say it made sense. But that’s United for you. Livakovic leaves his line even less than De Gea.
I don't believe United are actually in for him but as you said you can never know with United .

We are, people need to accept that.
That was going to be my input. But the bomb reference did the trick.
Name being used again. Even says he's struggling to agree a deal, not a chance this is true.
I'd be surprised if we were. Surprised and appalled.
Would be a daft move if that’s true
Why? Do you think ETH doesn’t care for possession?
Why? No. Like Liva, but no.
On the other hsnd, at least we can be relaxed if it gets to penalty shotout.

Not good with his feet and doesn't come out for crosses. Thankfully, it's likely a bullshit rumour.
More pressing concerns, money needs to be spent elsewhere. Also, De Gea only wanted to renew if he was going to continue as no 1, so if they are negotiating with him, knowing that, they must be willing to meet such a demand. I am not saying what I want, I am saying what's going to happen.
If we are a serious club with serious ambitions, then he gets replaced this summer. I think it's far from a certainty that he'll be our number one next season.
unless his contract negotiations break down I would say it's almost guaranteed. And this story proves my point, because this guy would clearly be to replace Henderson, not De Gea.
Indeed! Striker is the managers priority on a limited budget. GK isn’t a priority.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. I don't think we'll sign this lad anyway. De Gea may well stay, but on reduced terms and I'd imagine it will be quite heavily based upon appearances. Henderson will leave and his replacement will be lined up as De Gea's successor.
Better than De Gea at pretty much everything, but still not good with his feet.
I call bullshit
We probably will buy some random backup goalkeeper and everyone will think it's weird but it'll have little impact on our actual budget IMO. Heaton and Butland probably will not be here next season, Henderson will be sold, we'll be left with just De Gea so we'll need a couple of random senior goalkeepers on low cost deals.
Your commitment to being wrong is impressive
You know no more than me, so get off your high horse!
He's a good keeper, was the best keeper in WC imo. Its just that he's just slightly better in coming of his line or claiming a cross than De Gea and that isnt enough for United. Every now and then he hesitates to come of his line but on the other hand he's ok to good with the ball in his feet (got better in this recently). But again not nearly enough good for the things ETH is looking for and that's probably to have a kepper who can start a play from the back.
Wouldn't be a bad move but it wouldn't be a best either if you catch my drift. Although I'd be over the moon if it would happen.
