What’s the rumour?
Manchester United is eyeing a move for West Ham’s Joe Hart. The goalkeeper is seen as a possible backup to Sergio Romero who may depart the club this summer.
What ‘s the heart of the matter?
Manchester United have managed to ward off interest from Real Madrid for David de Gea over the past couple of years but his understudy, Romero, may leave the club in search of regular action.
United are prepared to face such a situation and are identifying possible replacements. Joe Hart has been linked with the club as a result.
City’s new signing Ederson has been impressive this season. Hart has cut a frustrating figure after missing out on the plane to Russia as well. He is very likely to leave Manchester City in the transfer window and Mourinho is exploring the possibility of signing the 31-year-old.
