The Sun has revealed that the 16-year-old shot-stopper has emerged as a target for Manchester City, who have closely monitored his progress, including his participation in the first team during preseason.

Currently occupying the position of the third-choice goalkeeper at Sunderland, Young has established himself as a regular presence with the U21 squad.
