Erik ten Hag is reportedly willing to make Everton’s Jordan Pickford a priority target for Manchester United if the Red Devils fail to re-sign David de Gea.
According to the Mirror, the England goalkeeper is Ten Hag’s preferred replacement if the Manchester club is unable to get a new contract for De Gea.
The Spanish goalkeeper has been in talks with United about a new contract for some time, and the Telegraph claimed this week that a deal has been reached but not yet signed.
It’s unlikely that anything will go wrong at this point, but if it does, Ten Hag wants Pickford.
If Manchester United are unable to obtain a new contract for David de Gea, manager Erik ten Hag will make signing Everton’s Jordan Pickford a priority.

The Telegraph states that even if De Gea signs a new contract, the 32-year-old will not be Man United’s first choice next season.
The Spaniard has come under fire this season for the errors he has made, and many United fans want to see the club hire a new shot-stopper in the summer.
Pickford is an unexpected choice, but if Everton are relegated, he may be a cheap alternative for Manchester United, who are also looking to buy a world-class striker during the next transfer window.
