Real Madrid teenager Jese Rodriguez Ruiz is being watched by Manchester United.

United scout Martin Ferguson has watched Real Madrid's B side Castilla several times in recent months, when Jese has been at the top of the list of the Spanish club's impressive young talent, says the Daily Mail.

His contract expires at the end of next season, but sources close to the player insist he would like to stay at the Bernabeu and break into the first team.
