Manchester United are reportedly considering a surprise move for Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn as part of their ongoing squad rebuild.
The 30-year-old has emerged as a possible target after being released by Nottingham Forest, and it makes sense from a squad-building point of view.
United are looking for an experienced goalkeeper this summer, with Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir both facing uncertain futures at Old Trafford.
Senne Lammens has established himself as United's first-choice goalkeeper, but Michael Carrick still needs reliable depth, especially with Champions League football returning.
Signing an experienced free agent like Gunn would allow United to strengthen the position without spending heavily.
Gunn's previous connection with Jason Wilcox, who was part of the coaching structure at Manchester City's academy, could also be an interesting factor in United's decision making.
Gunn may not be a glamorous signing, but he is experienced, available, and familiar with English football.
The Scotland international has also been active at the World Cup, starting their opening matches against Haiti and Morocco.
Karl Darlow is another name on United's radar, with the 35-year-old out of contract with Leeds United next week.
It appears that United are not looking for a new No.1, but rather an experienced squad goalkeeper who can compete, cover, and accept a supporting role.
Gunn appears to be one of the low-cost names under consideration, and if Onana and Bayindir both leave, United may move quickly for a practical replacement rather than chasing an expensive marquee option.
