This summer will most likely be an extremely nervy transfer window for Manchester United fans. Why? because Real Madrid seem to have set their sights on United's star man, David De Gea. Although their £60 million move was rejected by Manchester United yesterday, it is almost inevitable that Real Madrid will respond with a higher offer.

Although the English club would be doing all they can to keep De Gea, they must prepare accordingly if their worst fears are realised. Shoot! Draws up a list of four goalkeepers that Manchester United should be targeting just in case De Gea does leave for Real Madrid...

Charl Schwartzel - 66/1 The South African is the most consistent player in the field at this tournament, with five finishes inside the top 22 in the last six editions of the Memorial.
