Manchester United reportedly want to sign West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone as a replacement for David de Gea this summer. The Spanish shot-stopper is expected to leave Old Trafford as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continues to use Dean Henderson as his first-choice goalkeeper.
According to ESPN, Manchester United are likely to face heavy competition from Tottenham and West Ham United for the signature of Johnstone. The West Brom goalkeeper has been one of the shining lights for the Baggies in a season that will most likely see them relegated from the Premier League.
Sam Johnstone spent his youth career with Manchester United before making his debut for the club in 2011. The goalkeeper spent the next six years of his career on loan at seven different clubs before finally joining West Brom in 2018 in a deal worth £6.5 million.
