Manchester United are stepping up their interest in Genk flyer Leon Bailey.

The Daily Mail says two representatives from the club, including chief scout Jim Lawlor, watched Bailey in last week's Europa League win over Sassuolo.

Bailey scored in the 3-1 victory over the Serie A side to take his tally to eight goals in 17 appearances this season.

The 19-year-old reportedly snubbed Chelsea and Ajax to re-join Genk from AS Trencin in 2015.

Bailey has represented Jamaica at Under-23 level but is yet to earn a senior cap.
