Mansfield Town have snapped up Manchester United goalkeeper Nathan Bishop.

Bishop has signed for League Two side Mansfield on loan for the 2021/22 season, says the Manchester Evening News.

Bishop joined United from Southend United in January 2020 after featuring 39 times for their first-team and was part of the first-team set up in training working alongside the likes of David De Gea, Dean Henderson, Lee Grant and Sergio Romero.

But in order to gain some first-team experience next season, he has been allowed to leave the club on a season-long loan deal and will join Mansfield for the entirety of the campaign.

Bishop will remain with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side throughout their pre-season campaign, with several first-team stars likely to miss a chunk of the pre-season due to their participation in this summer's European Championships with their national teams.
