Swedish young goalkeeper Leopold Wahlstedt has admitted he is flattered by potential transfer interest from Manchester United.

Wahlstedt, 23, plays for Odds Ballklubb in Norway's first division and it's believed scouts from United are tracking his progress.

David de Gea is set to sign a contract extension, but Jack Butland's loan expires at the end of the season and it's likely a second-choice goalkeeper will be signed in the summer, to join the Spaniard and Tom Heaton as the keepers at the club.

The goalkeeper has previously refused to comment on links away from Odds BK, but he was recently pressed again about transfer interest from United and Liverpool and he revealed there are currently no concrete talks or deal in place. “It’s fun when it’s written positively about clubs seeing what you’re doing, then you’ve done something good,” he told Fotboll Skanalen. “They are absolutely big clubs.
