Manchester United are monitoring Brentford goalkeeper David Raya ahead of a potential move this summer, according to reports.
The Spanish shot-stopper joined the Bees from Blackburn in 2019, when the London side were in the Championship.
He helped Thomas Frank's side to promotion in his second full season at the club, and has since made 48 appearances in the top flight.

But the 27-year-old, who is a Real Madrid supporter, is out of contract at the Gtech Community Stadium at the end of the season - and has rejected offers to stay at the club.
Speaking at a press conference last month, Frank expressed doubt that Raya would commit to a new contract.
He explained (quotes via Sky Sports): "I think if he turns [the contract] down twice then unfortunately that's a signal.

"We made two really good offers but that's fine, it's a free world. We can't force anyone.
"I hope he will stay forever but it looks like it could be difficult with the contract situation."
United have been linked with a move to sign the Spaniard, although Erik ten Hag's side will likely face competition if they do launch a bid.
Man Utd keen on Raya
According to talkSPORT, United are monitoring Raya ahead of a summer move, with Premier League rivals Tottenham doing likewise.

Spurs are said to be on the lookout for a long-term replacement for Hugo Lloris, who has had injury problems this season and turns 37 in December.
It is claimed that United see Raya as potential competition for David De Gea, whose contract also expires in the summer but he is in talks to remain at Old Trafford.
Furthermore, Brentford are said to be 'resigned' to losing the goalkeeper in the summer, following on from Frank's comments last month.
The Dane has said that Raya is worth at least £40 million, which may put United off a move if they plan for their goalkeeper to not be the automatic number one.
