INCREDIBLE saves by Manchester United's David De Gea
The La Liga giants are determined to sign the keeper this summer and made him their No1 target.
Zinedine Zidane wants to replace Navas in goal, and Madrid have looked to kill two birds with one stone.
The Costa Rica international has been tabled to United as a part-exchange to lower the fee for De Gea, according to Spanish outlet Don Balon.

Navas has been rejected by Mourinho
United are said to be demanding a world-record fee for a keeper of £60m but could be persuaded by an appealing swap deal.
However, Navas has been rejected by Mourinho, despite Louis van Gaal’s willingness to take him two years ago.
Instead, the Manchester United boss has three shot-stoppers he is targeting as top alternatives to De Gea should he leave.
Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak and Leicester’s Kasper Schmeichel are being looked at.

And Jose Mourinho is not willing to settle for Navas, leaving Madrid in a difficult position with the 30-year-old.
Don Balon add he has no intention of facilitating an exit from the Bernabeu.
For Navas to quit Madrid, the keeper wants a club of equal level and at least the same pay.
