Man Utd and Crystal Palace in race for Sunderland star
Manchester United and Crystal Palace are in the race to sign Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson.
According to Alan Nixon, the Red Devils are eyeing a new number two behind André Onana.
Patterson has emerged as a bright young talent at the Stadium of Light, earning the role of first choice midway through their promotion campaign from League One in 2021/22.
The 24-year-old has played 98 times in the Championship for the Wearside outfit, helping the team come sixth in their first year back at that level in 2023.
But there has been speculation over his future with Sunderland since their disappointing end to last season, where they came 16th.
Man United are in the market for a potential replacement for Altay Bayindir, with the club scouting young talent to come in and work under Onana.
It is understood that Erik ten Hag is hoping to add some competition for game time for the Cameroon international.
Crystal Palace have also been mentioned as a possible next destination, with the Eagles looking to strengthen between the sticks.
