Manchester United goalkeeper
coach Eric Steele admits they're scouting for new goalkeeper
talent.
He told the Manchester Evening News: "At this football
club what would you expect other than that we will always be
looking.
"The manager wants the best available squad and it is my job in
the goalkeeping department to make sure we have got potential
targets that I have checked out.
"The manager will also have checked them out. That is what this
club is all about. You have to be ready for every eventuality.
"We have had the Russian goalkeeper (Igor Akinfeev) linked and
we've had all sorts linked with us. You will never fail to have
that. This football club will always be `in' for such and such a
player according to the press and speculation.
"It is always going to happen and this season it has happened
because they will have seen Edwin out after his operation and if
Ben had had an injury we would be thin on the ground.
"We would be very foolish people if we were not prepared. That
is the same in every position.
"It is no different now from 12 months ago. You work with the
keepers you have, but you also have to know what else is around.
You have to have that in the back of your mind. It is the only
sensible way to do it."
