United are looking to bring in a new goalkeeper in the summer, after Dutch veteran Edwin van der Sar confirmed he is retiring at the end of the season.
“Stekelenburg is indeed the goalkeeper who is at the top of our wanted list,” said Meulensteen to Voetbal International.
“We have naturally been talking a lot among ourselves about who should replace Van der Sar.
“Alex Ferguson has spoken about Stekelenburg with Edwin and that does not seem strange to me at all.”
