Man United scouting Swansea goalkeeper Kit Margetson | OneFootball

Manchester United are monitoring young Swansea City goalkeeper Kit Margetson, who is currently impressing on loan at Connah’s Quay Nomads, according to the Daily Mail.

Tony Coton, the man credited with scouting current Man Utd number one Senne Lammens, was spotted in Flintshire recently running the rule over the shot-stopper.

United may be looking for another goalkeeper this summer to provide competition for Lammens, with Altay Bayindir expected to leave in search of game time.

Andre Onana is also poised to leave the Red Devils following an underwhelming spell in England.

Man Utd could be scouting Margetson with a view to making him number two or simply keeping him for the future.

Margetson is the son of former Manchester City keeper Martyn, and Man United are not the first club to register interest, with Crystal Palace and Liverpool eyeing him.

The 19-year-old would be a developmental option for Man United rather than an immediate starter, offering depth while being groomed for the future.

That approach aligns with a wider shift in recruitment strategy at Old Trafford over the past two years.

The club has made a concerted effort to target emerging talent globally, rather than relying solely on established names.

The signing of highly-rated Colombian teenager Cristian Orozco, who is set to join from Fortaleza in 2026, underlines that intent.

Similarly, young Mali international Sekou Kone has already begun to make his mark within the youth set-up.

United’s vision is increasingly clear. They plan to build a pipeline of elite young players who can develop into first-team regulars or strengthen squad depth over time.

Margetson fits neatly into that model. In a summer expected to bring change and uncertainty, this is a move that speaks to long-term planning.
