AFC Wimbledon academy goalkeeper Spike Brits attracting interest from Manchester United

Manchester United are ‘in the running’ to sign AFC Wimbledon academy goalkeeper Spike Brits, who is attracting interest from various clubs, according to London News Online (h/t Manchester Evening News).

The 15-year-old is being monitored by a number of top sides. Already at such a young age, the shot-stopper has trained with the League Two outfit’s first-team goalkeepers.

Apart from the Red Devils, Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur are also looking to acquire Brits’ services. The 15-year-old will evidently be one to look out for the future.

Currently, Spurs have Hugo Lloris in their ranks. The 36-year-old is in the final years of his illustrious career. In recent seasons, the France international has been inconsistent in between the sticks for the North London side.

Apart from the 2018 World Cup winner, Fraser Forster can also be called upon by Antonio Conte’s team. The former Southampton star is the backup option at N17.

As for United, David de Gea has been Erik ten Hag’s go-to option in the current campaign. The 32-year-old has been in fine form since last season for the Red Devils.

The Spain international had a shaky start in the Dutch manager’s opening matches in the Manchester-based club’s dugout. However, the veteran shot-stopper has turned things around admirably since then.

Apart from De Gea, Ten Hag has Tom Heaton in his ranks as well. Martin Dubravka’s loan spell at the club was cut short in January. Subsequently, the Old Trafford side also signed Jack Butland on loan from Crystal Palace in the recent transfer window to add depth to the goalkeeping ranks.
