Manchester United will battle Tottenham Hotspur for the signature of West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, according to a report.

Manchester United will reportedly battle Tottenham Hotspur for the signature of West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone this summer.

The England international's contract with the Baggies is due to expire at the end of June, and he is said to be preparing to leave the Championship club on a free transfer.

A number of clubs have been credited with an interest in the stopper, who has kept 15 clean sheets in 36 appearances for West Brom during the 2021-22 campaign.

However, according to Sky Sports News, Man United and Tottenham will go head-to-head for his signature on a free transfer.

Dean Henderson and Lee Grant could both leave Man United this summer, which would put the Red Devils in the market for a new goalkeeper.

Meanwhile, Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is believed to be keen to sign competition for number one Hugo Lloris during the 2022-23 campaign.

Johnstone previously represented Man United between 2011 and 2018 but never made a first-team appearance for the club, eventually leaving on a permanent basis for West Brom in 2018.
