Man United 'eye Championship goalkeeper and Gareth Southgate's godson' as potential back-up to Andre Onana

Manchester United have reportedly set their sights on a Championship goalkeeper to deputise for Andre Onana.

The Red Devils have identified Preston North End goalkeeper Freddie Woodman as their potential man between the sticks.

Woodman, 28, signed for Preston permanently in 2022 and was their player of the year in his first season.

A former England Under-20s World Cup winner from 2017, Woodman is also Gareth Southgate's godson.

Despite keeping 13 league clean sheets, he has had a chequered season with numerous mistakes and is out for the rest of the campaign with an ankle injury.
