Football FanCast's writer Ben Goodwin has doubts over Manchester United's reported notion of making an making an offer of €120m for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak this summer.
David de Gea has made a series of errors in recent weeks for the Red Devils, during a time where his future at Old Trafford is still looking uncertain.
De Gea is still yet to agree a new contract with the 20-time Premier League champions as he bargains to earn the same wage as the club's top earner, Alexis Sanchez, on £400,000-a-week.
"Oblak would be a tremendous waste of money for Manchester United, and that's no slight at the player himself," says Goodwin.
"He is one of best shot-stoppers on the planet if not the best, but he would cost a huge chunk of any sum received from an exit for De Gea, and there are other parts of the XI more desperate for improvement."
"If De Gea goes, the Red Devils would be better served moving forward with Romero and Henderson as their options in goal, freeing up funds to make the proper improvements required elsewhere in the team."

it would be waste they already have de gea, they don't need oblak, rather buy defenders and hope that de gea will be back in form next season

If this is what Man Utd want to pay 120million for, they should go ahead otherwise is like spending your hard earned money in a strip club just to feel alright
