Man Utd: Shaw comments on Mount's signing
Manchester United are ready to sell Matej Kovar as three interested clubs circle the highly-rated goalkeeper, according to reports. Kovar boosted his popularity among the fanbase in the early stages of pre-season after an impressive loan spell at Sparta Prague but looks set for the exit door.
The Czech Republic U21 international thrived on home soil last term, keeping 11 clean sheets in 32 appearances to help Sparta lift their first FORTUNA:LIGA title in nine years.
And United supporters were taken aback by his pre-season performances against Leeds United and Lyon before the United States tour.
But Kovar's absence Stateside sparked speculation that he was nearing a departure in search of regular senior minutes.
According to The Sun, that appears to be the case. It's claimed that United will let Kovar leave before the summer transfer slams shut in September.
Championship side Hull City and Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade have been credited with an interest in the 23-year-old stopper.
But he could also return to Sparta permanently if the Czech giants can raise funds for his signature.

United's current valuation is said to be deemed higher than what they are willing to pay for Kovar's return.
The report adds that Hull and Red Star are showing more serious interest at this stage, while the former would also take him on a season-long loan.
But United are yet to receive a suitable offer, and he is currently set to act as Erik ten Hag's third goalkeeper this term.
The Red Devils splashed £47million to sign Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana, replacing club legend David de Gea between the sticks.
Onana's Old Trafford arrival has blocked Kovar's route to the No 1 shirt, given the 27-year-old is primed to stand at the foot of Ten Hag's side for years to come.
