Joe Hart has 'held talks' with MLS side Minnesota United with the former England No 1 expected to leave Burnley in January.

Hart has found himself as a firm second choice behind Nick Pope at Turf Moor and the 32-year-old is said to be searching for a move that brings more regular action.

According to MLS Soccer, Hart, who is reportedly of interest to David Beckham's Inter Miami, has emerged on the radar of Minnesota United as they need a new goalkeeper.

A spokesman for the club confirmed in the report that there is interest in Hart and 'the sides have been working' on a deal.

Former Everton, Manchester City and Burnley striker Adrian Heath is manager at Minnesota United and will be familiar with Hart's career to date.

United, nicknamed the Loons, saw former Arsenal goalkeeper Vito Mannone leave the club at the end of the season.

Mannone was on loan from Reading but returned to England on the expiry of that deal.

It represented a major blow for Minnesota United given Mannone's impressive performances saw him win MLS Goalkeeper of the Year for the 2019 season having played a key role in guiding the club to the play-offs for the first time.

It emerged on Thursday that Mannone had rejected the chance to become the league's highest paid goalkeeper and so Minnesota United had to re-establish a list of targets.

Hart has been at Burnley since 2018 having seen his career dip after 12 years as No 1 at Manchester City. He has been at Torino and West Ham in previous spells after City.
