Manchester United 'monitoring Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford'

Manchester United are reportedly keeping one eye on Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford due to the uncertain futures of Victor Valdes and Sam Johnstone.

Pickford, who is currently on loan at Preston North End, is rumoured to have attracted interest from numerous Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.

According to the Daily Star, United have sent scouts to watch Pickford's performances at Deepdale, indicating that a move for the 21-year-old could be on the cards.

United's number one goalkeeper is David de Gea, while summer arrival Sergio Romero is installed as back-up.
