Sunderland keeper Jordan Pickford being tracked by Manchester United

Manchester United are keeping tabs on Sunderland's young goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, according to reports.

The Chronicle claim United scouts have been present in France to watch England under-21 star Pickford during the Toulon tournament.

It is claimed the Red Devils see Pickford as the long-term replacement for David de Gea, whose long-term future at the club remains uncertain.

Pickford is rated highly by Sunderland though and United will have to stump up big money to sign him after he penned a contract until 2020 at the Stadium of Light last season.
