Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is weighing up a summer move for Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey.
The Manchester Evening News says among a host of options, Frey could prove the cheapest at around £9m and crucially, at the age of 30, is deemed an ideal age to cope with the expectations at United.
As keen as he is on Hugo Lloris (Lyon), Igor Akinfeev (CSKA Moscow) and Manuel Neuer (Schalke), with all of them under the age 25, he may be concerned that they won't have the temperament to make it at United.
Which is where Frey holds an advantage - as well as his relatively small fee in a summer when Ferguson will be looking to stretch his transfer budget as far as it can go.
Frey, a former French international, has been in Italy's top flight since 98, playing for major clubs Inter Milan, Parma and Fiorentina in that time.
