Dael Fry has garnered interest from Manchester United and Chelsea after his impressive displays for Middlesbrough.

Boro boss Garry Monk has handed Fry the opportunity to start alongside Ben Gibson in the centre of defence.

And the England U21 international has grasped the opportunity with both hands, helping his side to seven clean sheets from 11 matches.

Fry helped Boro to promotion in 2016 under Aitor Karanka before joining Rotherham on-loan at the start of last season.

He returned to Teeside in January and made two appearances in the FA Cup.
