Manchester United have contacted Tottenham over the availability of French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, according to a report in France.

Respected newspaper L'Equipe says that the club are interested in the France No 1 only if David De Gea opts to leave Old Trafford in the summer.

Real Madrid are believed to want De Gea to replace Iker Casillas, but United are confident the 24-year-old will stay after offering him a £200,000-a-week deal - the Spanish club are also interested in Lloris.

The 28-year-old is the current captain at White Hart Lane but not playing in the Champions League "poses a problem" for the goalkeeper, according to L'Equipe.

Other reports state that it could cost £25million for Spurs to sell the Frenchman.
