Manchester United are targeting Belgian Under-21 international Senne Lammens as a potential replacement for Andre Onana.
The Belgian international has been Royal Antwerp's first-choice goalkeeper since joining from Club Brugge in 2023.
Lammens, 22, has already attracted strong interest from some of Europe's top clubs, including Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund and Leeds United.
While signing a new goalkeeper next month is not seen as a priority, the Red Devils are weighing their options and have sent scouts to keep an eye on him this season in case they need to find a replacement for Onana, the Telegraph reports .
Onana's recent poor performance against Wolves on Boxing Day, conceding straight from a corner, has left many concerned, including new boss Ruben Amorim.
The £47m signing from Inter Milan has had a very turbulent time at Old Trafford since joining the club 18 months ago, and United have now started looking for replacements.
The Cameroon international has made plenty of mistakes since Ruben Amorim took charge of United at the end of this year.
He made mistakes against Nottingham Forest and Viktoria Plzen in the first games of the Portuguese reign and has looked unconvincing between the posts since.
In addition to Onana's recent poor performances, second-choice keeper Altay Bayindir could leave this summer in search of first-team football.
Despite United's goalkeeping dilemma, a deal may not be completed in the January transfer window as the club's spending will be limited as they have recorded losses in their financial figures and will need to ensure they comply with the rules for profit and sustainability.
However, some player moves could help United land Lemmens, with Juventus reportedly interested in reuniting Joshua Zirkzee with former coach Thiago Motta.
Marcus Rashford has also spoken out about his desire to start a new chapter in his football career, which could see him leave Old Trafford.
