Overview
- Reports on Thursday linked Angus Gunn to Manchester United after the 30-year-old was released by Nottingham Forest and became available on a free transfer.
- Gunn has recent World Cup exposure, having started Scotland’s opening matches, and his form there has kept him visible despite a quiet club season.
- A prior connection between Gunn and United academy head Jason Wilcox, formed while Gunn was at Manchester City’s academy, is cited as a factor that could ease assessment.
- Karl Darlow is named as an alternative veteran option on United’s shortlist, underlining the club’s search for inexpensive, reliable backup rather than a new No.1 signing.
- No approaches or signings have been confirmed and the move would be driven by squad needs for Champions League duty if Andre Onana or Altay Bayindir depart this summer.
