Manchester United are clear to sign Fulham wonderkid Ryan Sessegnon in the January transfer window, according to reports.
Sessegnon, 17, who broke into Fulham’s first-team last season, has scored 11 goals in 53 appearances for the Cottagers, and is widely regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in English football.

A number of Premier League clubs are keeping close tabs on Sessegnon, with Manchester United and Tottenham understood to be expressing a strong interest in the England Under-19 left-back.
The Sun suggest Fulham have opened the door for Sessegnon to leave Craven Cottage in January as they hunt for a replacement for the remainder of the 2017/18 campaign.
Sessegnon became the youngest player ever to score in a Championship match last year and is the first 17-year-old to score a hat-trick in league football since Dele Alli.
With Fulham resigned to losing Sessegnon, United may be tempted to move for the youngster over the £50million-rated Danny Rose.
The teenager’s contract at Fulham, which he agreed in June, includes no buyout clause and expires in the summer of 2020.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are also believed to have scouted Sessegnon.
