The Brentford goalkeeper, whose contract expires at the end of next season, could depart the Bees in the summer given his impressive performances at the club. De Gea, who joined Man United in the summer of 2011, has been a stalwart in goal for them And Raya has been tipped by Neville as a potential successor in the Red Devils goal Tottenham have been linked with the Spaniard as they eye a long-term replacement for Hugo Lloris. However, Neville believes that Old Trafford could be a potential destination for Raya in the summer. "I think Raya would interest United in the summer," he said on The Overlap. "I went to watch Brentford on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago. I think he's going to become available, he's only got a year left. "I think he could step up." De Gea's clean sheet in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle was his 181st for United, a new club record. De Gea has shined at the club, but has also had some poor moments Neville has revealed just how difficult it can be to play in goal for United However despite his success, he has also faced criticism for past performances but Neville sympathises as he claimed being in goal for Man United is the toughest role of them all. "I've said it's the single most difficult position in English football, being the United goalkeeper," Neville added. "I genuinely believe that. "I think Liverpool's no.1 is second. That's not to be disrespectful to all other clubs. "The United goalkeeper comes under the most scrutiny if they make a mistake than any other position in English football on the pitch. "It's tough, and I've seen lads in that goal [struggle]. That's the problem they've got, it's whether they can handle that stadium." Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from talkSPORT.
