Manchester United 'preparing £25m Ryan Sessegnon bid'

Manchester United are reportedly preparing a £25m move for Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon.

Sessegnon, 17, broke into the Fulham first team last season, and the left-sided player has scored 11 times in 54 appearances for the Championship outfit in all competitions.

Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid are both believed to be interested in the youngster, but according to The Guardian, United are preparing an initial £25m offer in a bid to beat their rivals to his signature.

The report claims that United boss Jose Mourinho is prepared to allow Luke Shaw, who has recently returned to the first team, to leave Old Trafford if it means that he can sign Sessegnon in the January transfer window.

Sessegnon, who is capable of operating at both left-back and left midfield, scored three times for England Under-19s during the Under-19 European Championships in June.
