Man Utd keeper Matej Kovar to be sent on transfer loan when new No2 arrives with Sunderland tempted to swoop
MANCHESTER UNITED will send Czech keeper Matej Kovar out on loan when they get a new No2.
Sunderland might be tempted to move for the 22-year-old.
Kovar is desperate to play regular first team football this season – something boss Erik ten Hag cannot guarantee him.
The youngster is highly-rated at the Theatre of Dreams with the club keen for him to continue his development elsewhere for the campaign.
He impressed on loan at Swindon during the 2020-21 term where he featured in 21 games in all competitions.
