Manchester United goalkeeper Tom Heaton is a target for Middlesbrough.

The Sun says Boro boss Chris Wilder wants a new No 1 and is keen to take Heaton, 36, on loan if United will let him go rather than make him stay at Old Trafford as cover.

Heaton returned to United last summer from Aston Villa.

The veteran has been acting as third choice at Old Trafford behind David de Gea and Dean Henderson.

The former Aston Villa and Burnley stopper would welcome game time and a challenge after falling to third choice.
