Manchester United are new favourites for QPR whizkid Raheem Sterling.

The Mirror says United's youth chief Brian McClair was a VIP guest at Sterling's under-18 game at the weekend as he made a final check on the kid who has been the talk of Rangers for a couple of months.

Attacking midfielder Sterling, still just 15, was pencilled in for a record-breaking first-team game when Jim Magilton was in charge - and has also dazzled for England's young sides.

Now McClair is targeting the whizz kid for an immediate move, beating off Manchester City, Arsenal and Fulham who all want him.
