Report: Sunderland, Celtic want Manchester United's Paddy McNair

Sunderland and Celtic are thought to be leading the way to sign Paddy McNair from Man United, although Championship side Newcastle have also shown a reported interest.

Manchester United defender Paddy McNair is a target for both Sunderland and Celtic, according to a report.

The 21-year-old is understood to be unwanted by Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford as the Portuguese looks to offload a string of players on the fringe of the first team.

It is claimed by The Sun that David Moyes is keen to take McNair to Sunderland, having worked with the youngster during his time in charge of United in 2013-14.

However, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is also said to have targeted the Northern Ireland international to help bolster his defensive ranks, while Newcastle United have previously been linked.

Newcastle will offer McNair a more realistic prospect of first-team football in the second tier, the report suggests, and that could sway his decision when choosing between the three interested parties.

McNair has made 24 appearances for United since breaking into the senior fold two years ago.
