Manchester United are allegedly preparing a summer transfer move for Everton goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford should the Red Devils fail to agree new terms with David De Gea.
According to the Mirror, The England goalkeeper would be Erik ten Hag’s choice if the Manchester club were unable to finalize De Gea’s new contract.
It has been claimed this week by the Telegraph that a deal has been reached. But has not yet been finalized over the Spanish goalkeeper’s long-running negotiations with United.
Ten Hag wants Pickford. Even though it is improbable that anything will go awry at this point.
32-year-old De Gea won’t definitely be Man United’s first choice for the upcoming campaign, according to the Telegraph. Even if he signs a new contract.
Many United supporters want their team to recruit a new goalkeeper in the summer. As the Spaniard has faced a lot of criticism this season for the errors he has made.
Pickford is an unexpected selection. But if Everton are demoted, it might be a cost-effective move for the Manchester club, who also hopes to sign an elite striker in the upcoming transfer window.

The Dutch manager had been keeping tabs on Anderlecht goalie Bart Verbruggen. But he is now focusing on Pickford. On Monday, the Everton goalkeeper was on fire as his team defeated Brighton, which was a win that was vital.
The 29-year-old committed himself to Goodison Park until 2027 by signing a new contract earlier this season. However, with Euro 2024 just over a year away, it seems unimaginable that Sean Dyche’s team would still have their prized asset if they were to leave the top flight.
