3 Goalkeepers who could replace David De Gea if he leaves Manchester United next summer

#1 Jordan Pickford (Everton)

Pickford has impressed for both club and country

England’s #1 Jordan Pickford is seen as the perfect replacement to fill David De Gea's shoes, as his displays for club and country have proven he has the knack for performing on the big stage.

Manchester United are long-term admirers of Pickford, with Mourinho noting his ability to play out from the defense with confidence. He is athletic, and has impressed many with his commanding presence in the six-yard box.

The 24-year-old joined Everton in a £30million move in June 2017, following the relegation of his former club Sunderland. Hence, Jordan would not come cheap, but the fee will be less when compared to Oblak or Donnarumma. It's believed that £60 million would be enough to snatch him from Everton.

Pickford may not be among the world's best keepers at the moment, but he has the qualities to become one. Looking at all the prospects, Pickford is the most realistic option for Manchester United.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
