Manchester United are lining up a late bid for Fulham fullback Ryan Sessegnon.

Sky Sports says a bid to lure the 17-year-old sensation away from Craven Cottage would likely make him the most expensive English teenage player ever.

United boss Jose Mourinho has the future of his team in mind targeting Sessegnon and he would be prepared to loan him back to the West London club next season to allow him to continue his education.

But Mourinho will have a tough battle on his hands to pry the youngster away from Fulham and other Premier League suitors.

The Cottagers' owner Shahid Khan is reportedly not prepared to sell his prized-asset, even if a bid of £25million is received.
