Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford could become Man United transfer target, claims report

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will reportedly target Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford if David de Gea leaves Old Trafford this summer.

That’s according to the Daily Star, who are reporting that United chiefs want De Gea to stay at the club, but unless he accepts a significant reduction on his £375,000-a-week wages, the Spain international could become a free agent next month.

But the report goes on to claim that if De Gea is to leave to Old Trafford this summer, then United boss Ten Hag has put Pickford on his wanted list, along with rising Holland and Anderlecht keeper Bart Verbruggen.

Pickford committed his future to Everton until 2027 earlier this season after signing a new contract. The deal does not include a relegation release clause.

Speaking after putting pen to paper, the England international said: "It’s massive to sign this new contract at such a special club for me.

"The support I’ve had from everyone at the club since I joined as a 22-year-old has been so important to my family and me. I’m happy here, and so are my family. We love it at Everton.

"This contract will take me to more than 10 years at Everton, and I want to build a legacy here to put myself up there with the likes of Neville Southall to be one of the best keepers to have played for Everton."
