Manchester United are on the hunt for a new goalkeeper, with Angus Gunn emerging as a surprise target. The Scotland international is available on a free transfer after being released by Nottingham Forest.

What's behind the move?

The Red Devils are looking to shake up their goalkeeping department, with Senne Lammens established as the first choice. Altay Bayindir and Andre Onana are set to leave, leaving Tom Heaton as the only other option.

Manchester United have been linked with several goalkeepers, including Karl Darlow and Sam Johnstone, who came through the youth ranks at the club.

Who is Angus Gunn?

Gunn has played for Scotland in the World Cup, starting all three group games. He has limited Premier League experience, but has played over 200 games in the Championship.
