Leicester City owners have blocked Manchester United's move for their goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, according to The Mirror.

A report from Sky Sports claimed that United have identified Schmeichel as a replacement for Real Madrid-bound David De Gea and the player is also keen on a move.

However, Leicester's Thai owners are not too keen on letting the Dane leave the club and are set to block any move for him in the summer.

The report claims that Schmeichel, who signed a new long-term deal worth £100,000-a-week last summer, has angered the club owners by angling for a move to United.
