Man Utd want ex-keeper should David de Gea or Dean Henderson exit

An interesting transfer rumour is gaining traction, with Manchester United eyeing up a former goalkeeper to replace either David de Sea or Dean Henderson this summer – that is, if either do exit Old Trafford.

A report in the Sun claims that United are eyeing West Bromwich Albion’s Sam Johnstone, the 28-year-old stopper has been a standout for the Baggies this season despite the club sitting in the bottom three.

Johnstone rose through the academy at United but failed to make a senior appearance for the club, going out on loan at various football league clubs, before making a permanent switch to West Bromwich in 2018.

Should West Brom fall back into the Championship and with Johnstone entering the final year of his contract, a transfer could very well be on the table, but would the Englishman settle for not being number one and sitting on the bench after a stellar few seasons between the sticks?
