MANCHESTER UNITED are eyeing a £40m summer swoop for Fulham wonderkid Ryan Sessegnon.
The England Under-17 World Cup winner has been a revelation this season, scoring 14 times.
He has attracted the interest of a number of Premier League clubs, including Tottenham.
But Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho is keen to bring in the youngster, who is seen as a star of the future.
Untied have sent scouts to watch the 17-year-old in Fulham’s last three Championship matches.
He is seen as a left-sided option instead of Luke Shaw, who is set to leave Old Trafford after a training ground bust-up with Mourinho.

United were interested in bringing in Spurs ace Danny Rose this summer.
But the Red Devils could drop their interest in the England full-back, and go for Sessegnon instead.
An Old Trafford source said: “The club have been keeping tabs on him and the reports back are fantastic.

“He is even being compared to Gareth Bale at the same stage of his career. He has all the attributes.
“He is quick and has an eye for goal. Jose has been impressed with him and he will be a star.”
Sessegnon made his debut for the Cottagers last season aged just 16, when he scored seven times.
