Manchester United have shown interest in acquiring Freddie Woodman, a goalkeeper currently with Preston North End, on a free transfer. With Woodman's contract set to expire this summer, he will be available as a free agent. The Red Devils had been keeping an eye on him even before he suffered an ankle injury. Having previously played in the Premier League with Newcastle, Woodman is considered a potential candidate to offer competition to Andre Onana. The pursuit of Woodman aligns with manager Ruben Amorim's strategy to strengthen the squad while adhering to the club's Profitability and Sustainability Rules, amidst financial constraints. With veteran Tom Heaton expected to depart and Altay Bayindir's future uncertain, Manchester United are eager to secure Woodman, who has achieved 13 clean sheets in 37 Championship matches this season, as a financially viable option.
