MANCHESTER CITY are interested in Sunderland goalkeeper Matty Young.
City were keen on the 18-year-old stopper before he made his first-team breakthrough on loan at Salford.
Young had to wait for a regular start in League Two before finally making the No1 shirt his after 18 games.
Since coming into the side, he has conceded just one goal in eight matches.
And he is in the midst of reeling off a stunning run of six clean sheets in a row.
Salford now have the joint-best defence in the league with AFC Wimbledon and are second in the table.
Young incredibly now has the chance to audition in front of Pep Guardiola on Saturday night as Salford face City in the third round of the FA Cup.
The wonderkid joined Sunderland at the age of seven and has risen through the youth ranks, winning their Young Player of the Year award.
He spent last season on loan at non-league club Darlington.
Young has been capped by England at Under-18, 19 and 20 levels.

The teenager’s Under-20 debut came in a 1-1 draw against Poland in November.
January could be busy for City as the champions are reportedly eyeing a double raid for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush and Atalanta midfielder Ederson to reignite their season.
