Manchester United are watching Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

The Sunday Mirror says the 22-year-old has just committed his future to the Black Cats for the next four seasons but that has not stopped the Red Devils from ordering their scouting staff to monitor the shot-stopper's progress.

Following a failed recruitment policy under Louis Van Gaal, pressure has been growing for the Old Trafford giants to source some up-and-coming talent.

Pickford has been part of Gareth Southgate's England Under-21 side and scouts from United were in the crowd at the Toulon tournament watching the keeper.
