Manchester United have entered talks with Stoke City goalkeeper Lee Grant.

Sky Sports says United are in talks with Stoke over a possible deal for 35-year-old goalkeeper Grant.

It is understood Stoke would allow him to leave on a free transfer and United want him as cover should there be injuries to senior keepers David de Gea and Sergio Romero.

It is likely Grant would be third choice, initially, with Portugal U21 goalkeeper Joel Pereira to be sent on loan to get more experience.

Grant made 30 appearances for Stoke that season but featured just three times in the Premier League last term.
