Manchester United are searching for an experienced, imposing goalkeeper to replace David de Gea at the end of the season because of a growing acceptance at Old Trafford that the Spaniard is unsuitable for the demands of English football.

Manager Alex Ferguson has become exasperated by de Gea’s inability to iron out the flaws in his game.

Senior players at the club are understood to have lost faith in the 22-year-old even before his costly injury-time mistake against Tottenham on Sunday, which led to the home side claiming a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane.

Concerns over the reliability of second-choice goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard, which were brought to a head by an alarming performance during a 4-3 victory at Reading last month, have presented Ferguson with another problem in terms of his goalkeeping options for the remainder of this season.

The decision by Barcelona’s Victor Valdes to reject a new contract at the Camp Nou will ensure that United consider the 31-year-old, while the uncertain future of Real Madrid’s Iker Casillas could present Ferguson with the opportunity to recruit a goalkeeper regarded by many as the best in the world.
