Manchester United are tracking Leeds United’s Illan Meslier

Keeper scout Tony Coton still likes Leeds keeper Illan Meslier, who was a target two years ago but lost form when they were relegated.

Coton has been a regular at his games and the 24-year-old French ace is seen as one for the future.

Meslier was a top prospect when he burst onto the scene with Leeds and has already made over 240 professional appearances.

While the 6ft 5in presence has also represented France at youth level.

Meslier has made 22 Championship appearances this season, keeping 12 clean sheets - the league's second best tally.

Man Utd are also looking at Botafogo’s John, 28.

Their search has picked after second-string stopper Altay Bayindir had a tough game at Spurs in midweek.

The club want to wait until the summer to sign a new keeper but may move next month if Turk Bayındır attracts interest.

Bayindir only arrived this summer in a £4.3m deal from Fenerbahce.

But the 26-year-old has struggled for game time since the move, only managing game time in the Carabao Cup where he has conceded six goals in three game - including four against Spurs in the week.
