Manchester United, Arsenal 'eye teenage goalkeeper Brad Young'

Hartlepool United goalkeeper Brad Young is reportedly attracting interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.

The 17-year-old is yet to make a first-team appearance for Hartlepool but signed his first professional deal with the National League club over the summer.

A number of League One clubs are believed to have been interested in the teenager before he decided to pen a contract with Pool ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.

However, according to The Sun, now both United and Arsenal are keeping a close eye on the Under-18 stopper, who stands at 6ft 4in.

Arsenal have Emiliano Martinez and Matt Macey as back-up to number one goalkeeper Bernd Leno, while Sergio Romero and Lee Grant are behind David de Gea in the pecking order at United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are back in Premier League action away to high-flying Sheffield United next weekend while Arsenal face a home match against struggling Southampton.
