Man Utd get close look at Peterborough keeper pair

Manchester United are taking a close look at Peterborough United goalkeepers Joe Lewis and James McKeown this week.

Posh manager Darren Ferguson is keen for the pair to continue receiving specialist coaching while he searches for a replacement for his former goalkeeping coach Andy Dibble. They will receive expert tuition from United's Eric Steele, a star of the Posh team that won the Fourth Division Championship in the 1973-74 season.

Ferguson told Peterborough Today: "Three coaches were highly recommended to me and I spoke to them all yesterday. They are all strong candidates for a very important position.

"Joe and James will spend the week at United and come back to us next Monday to start preparing for the Bristol City match.

"It means Kevin Russell and I can concentrate on the outfield players."
