Manchester United 'send scouts to watch Philipp Kohn'

Manchester United have reportedly been sending scouts to keep tabs on Red Bull Salzburg goalkeeper Philipp Kohn.

The 23-year-old has conceded a mere 13 goals in 23 Austrian Bundesliga matches with Matthias Jaissle's side so far in the 2021-22 campaign - keeping 12 clean sheets in the process.

Kohn has also been a regular fixture for Salzburg in the Champions League this term and made the bench for Switzerland's World Cup qualifiers in November, although he missed the last international period due to a knee injury.

Kohn's rise for the Austrian champions has now alerted Man United, according to The Mirror, with Ralf Rangnick's side potentially preparing for a shake-up in between the sticks this summer.

David de Gea and Dean Henderson's long-term futures both remain unclear, but the report adds that United - whose scouts watched Kohn ship seven to Bayern Munich in the Champions League - will have to fend off interest from numerous Premier League clubs to secure his signature.

Kohn rose through Stuttgart's youth academy before a brief stint with Rangnick's old club RB Leipzig in 2017-18, and his contract at Salzburg does not expire for another three years.
