Reports suggest United have managed to aquire a first option to sign 23 year old, 6ft 4 keeper Rui Patricio. The Portuguese keeper is seen as a possible replacement for Kuszczak who may look to leave after losing out to Foster as the number 2 at United. Interestingly Patricio scored a header for Sporting against FC Twente to get them through the second Champions League qualifying stage.

Could be good to get some more competition in and with him being only 23 he has alot of time on his side.
