Pickford, who United have a long standing interest in, is said to be on the two-man shortlist with Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak.
The Everton goalkeeper is said to have impressed former United boss Jose Mourinho as he helped England to last summer's World Cup semi-finals - saving a crucial penalty from Carlos Bacca in the last 16 shoot-out win over Colombia.
Despite Mourinho's departure and his dip in form this season, he remains on United's radar under Solskjaer.
Though the report claims United may have to fork out as much as £60m to prise him away from Everton, he would be a cheaper option than Oblak.
The Slovenian is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers on the planet and was linked with a move to Chelsea following Thibaut Courtois' move to Real Madrid last summer. Chelsea eventually settled on a £71m-deal to bring in Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao.
Atletico are thought to want as much as £85m for Oblak, who turned 26 in January.
