With doubts lingering over his long-term suitability, the Red Devils are actively exploring potential replacements.
A target who has recently been linked with return to Old Trafford, is in talks with Napoli however.
Fabrizio Romano on X reports that Napoli are now in advanced negotiations with Torino to sign Vanja Milinkovic-Savic for a fee of around €18 million.
Romano also stated that talks took place today.
Antonio Conte’s side want to anticipate interest from United and other clubs keen.
Milinkovic-Savic, who was rated Serie A’s top-performing goalkeeper by Sofascore, previously signed for United as a teenager in 2014.
However, a failed work permit application prevented him from ever featuring for the Red Devils.
United had no choice but to ultimately let him go before he joined Torino.

Now 28, the Serbian international has emerged as one of the most consistent performers in Italy’s top flight.
While Napoli are pushing hard to seal the deal quickly, United remain interested and could still make a late move to hijack the transfer if Amorim deems it necessary.
Given their struggles between the sticks, Milinkovic-Savic poses as a steady and composed alternative.
He would certainly offer reliability in a position that United sorely lacked last season.
Whether United decide to act soon may well determine whether they lose out again on a player they once called their own.
