Manchester United fans are only just realising that their new transfer target was signed by the club 10 years ago.

Man United are thought to be in the market for new players when the summer transfer window rolls around.

A goalkeeper is understood to be on Ruben Amorim's transfer wish-list following Andre Onana's shaky performances this season.

Onana has come under fire by fans and critics alike for his showings in goal, with Man United looking at their options ahead of potentially replacing the Cameroonian, who cost £47.2 million from Inter Milan.

Vanja Milinkovic-Savic is among Man United's options as Fabrizio Romano claims the Serbian international has been added to their shortlist for a new goalkeeper.

In his social media post, Romano states 'initial contacts' have taken place for the 28-year-old stopper, who is believed to be worth £17 million.

If you're a Man United fan and Milinkovic-Savic's name rings the bell, it's because he was on the club's books between 2014 and 2015.

The towering goalkeeper, now at Torino, failed to play a single match during his time at Old Trafford, eventually winding up at Lechia Gdansk following his move away from the Premier League side.

An image of Milinkovic-Savic shaking hands with Man United legend Sir Alex Ferguson at Carrington in 2014 emerged online following reports linking him with a return to the club.

Needless to say, Man United being linked with their former player got fans online talking.

One X user wrote: "Alex Ferguson always find the best players."

A second added: "This lad is a former United youth player, isn't he?"

A third said: "What's funny is that he was our player before."

Milinkovic-Savic left Lechia Gdansk for Torino in the summer of 2017. He enjoyed loan spells at SPAL, Ascoli and Standard Liege before becoming Torino's No.1.

Man United are keeping tabs on him ahead of the summer transfer reopening in view to potentially replacing Onana.
