There's a great goalkeeper who has just put in a fantastic performance in the Champions League final. He's available as his club have financial issues. He is excellent with the ball at his feet. Erik ten Hag knows him personally after coaching him for years at Ajax. This is the bit where you fall out of your chair like Vince McMahon.
Reinforcements in attack and midfield were always planned to be Manchester United's biggest priorities in a summer where they must capitalise on the promising start made in Ten Hag's first campaign. While they remain crucial to the recruitment plan, the need for a new goalkeeper is increasing by the day.
David de Gea did have a largely good season and attempted to meet the requirements set for him by the new manager but his old frailties were never far away. Wayward distribution, a weak command of his box and a remarkable knack for letting comfortable shots squeeze past him for someone capable of stunning saves. Several high-profile and costly mistakes towards the end of the campaign, including in the Europa League defeat by Sevilla and the FA Cup final loss to Manchester City, have once again called his unchallenged spot in the side into question.
That's before his contract situation is even considered. The Spaniard's current deal is set to expire at the end of June and though United hold the option to trigger an extra year on the same terms, they are yet to do so. Instead, they are hoping to negotiate a contract extension which would see De Gea, one of the club's best-paid players, reduce his wages.
