Nathan Bishop has been pictured signing for Sunderland ahead of his move from Manchester United.
The 23-year-old goalkeeper will join the Wearside club and is expected to provide competition for first-choice Anthony Patterson after the departures of Alex Bass and Jacob Carney.

Sunderland will kick-off their Championship campaign on Sunday against Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town. Bishop is expected to go straight into the squad, but he will have to wait a little longer for his debut.
Bishop obviously faced up to the reality of his situation at United. At 23, he needs to be playing regular football or competing for a place at the very least.
Matej Kovar was ahead of him in the pecking order at Old Trafford — behind Andre Onana and Tom Heaton.
We would like to wish Bishop the very best at Sunderland.
