David Raya is the current keeper for Brentford, and his name is an option for Manchester United to reinforce the team keeper, and his team has already put on the value for the spanish goal keeper and it seems to be a little bit shocking, the team is asking an amount of 40 million euros for the 27 year old keeper, and Manchester United are considering the option.

The keeper from Brentford has raised the interest because he is a player that Erik ten Hag considers that he might be ideal to create the competition in the team, and on top of that he also likes a lot the way that he plays with his feets to start the attack for his team, so ten Hag would really like to have him as an option.

The numbers that David Raya have put on this season is that in 35 games in the Premier League he has allowed a total of 45 goals,  but he has also been able to keep a clean sheet in 10 of those games, so it is a player that in a team like Brentford has been able to shown what he is capable of doing.
