Manchester United are 'ready' to sign Jordan Pickford in a move that could pave the way for Nottingham Forest to buy Dean Henderson.
United are preparing to make a £30million move for Everton goalkeeper Pickford, who could replace David De Gea amid uncertainty over the Spaniard's future at Old Trafford. His contract is expiring at the end of this month, though he holds an option to extend it by a further year. He has not yet taken that up.
Forest are all set to make their move for Henderson, who was on loan at the club last season, but United are waiting to resolve De Gea's future before they allow Henderson to leave permanently. A move for Pickford could be just the piece of the puzzle that Forest are looking for, opening the door for Henderson to make his move to Forest permanent.
