Manchester United transfer news: Reds sign new goalkeeper

Man Utd have completed the signing of another Belgian goalkeeper - although it's too early for him to replace David de Gea.

David de Gea could leave United in the summer

Manchester United have signed Belgian goalkeeper Ilias Moutha-Sebtaoui from Standard Liege.
The 16-year-old, who was reportedly scouted by Chelsea, has signed a three-year contract with The Reds.
Moutha-Sebtaoui joins fellow compatriot and teenager Indy Boonen, who also joined United earlier this year.
Last year, United completed the signing of Serbian goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic from FK Vojvodina and already boast Joel Pereira amongst their junior goalkeeping ranks.

Ben Amos, Anders Lindegaard and Sam Johnstone are all expected to depart this summer, while David de Gea remains 'torn' about the prospect of leaving United for Real Madrid.

Hugo Lloris, Petr Cech and Jasper Cillessen have been linked with United to replace De Gea, with current No.2 Victor Valdes also an option.

Moutha-Sebtaoui is the latest Belgian to join the growing contingent in the Premier League.

Ritchie de Laet became the first Belgian to play for United in 2009 before Marnick Vermijl, Adnan Januzaj and Marouane Fellaini played for The Reds.
