Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Scotland international goalkeeper Angus Gunn as their summer squad rebuild gathers momentum under Michael Carrick.
The 30-year-old has emerged as a potential target after being released by Nottingham Forest, according to The Sun.
United are seeking experienced goalkeeper cover this summer, with both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir facing uncertain futures at Old Trafford.
Senne Lammens has established himself as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper, but Carrick still requires reliable depth behind him heading into a demanding campaign.
With Champions League football returning to Old Trafford, the need for a dependable and experienced backup between the sticks becomes even more pressing.
Signing a free agent would allow United to address the position without committing significant transfer funds, making Gunn an attractive low-cost option.
One compelling detail surrounding the potential move is Gunn’s existing connection to United’s head of the academy, Jason Wilcox.
The Scotland international came through Manchester City’s academy when Wilcox was part of the coaching structure and later served as head of the academy.
That prior relationship does not guarantee anything, but it could help United build a clearer picture of Gunn’s character, development and overall suitability for the role.
Gunn has also maintained a high profile at international level, starting Scotland’s opening World Cup matches against Haiti and Morocco, keeping him visible despite a quieter club season at Forest.
Karl Darlow is also said to be on United’s shortlist, with the 35-year-old currently out of contract at Leeds United and in talks over a possible renewal.
Darlow made 22 appearances for Leeds last season and represents another experienced, cost-effective option United are monitoring closely.
The pattern of United’s interest in both Gunn and Darlow suggests the club is not pursuing a new first-choice goalkeeper but instead targeting a reliable squad option comfortable in a supporting role.
If both Onana and Bayindir depart this summer, United are likely to move quickly for a practical replacement rather than pursuing a high-profile and expensive signing in the market.
