Sunderland are targeting Manchester United striker James Wilson.

The Sunderland Echo says Sunderland want Wilson on loan from United.

The 22-year-old scored one goal in two games on loan for Sheffield United last term.

The Black Cats have until the end of August to tie up a loan move with the player's knee injury having cleared.

Wilson is a product of the Manchester United youth academy and was once described by Louis Van Gaal as 'one of the brightest young English prospects'.

He suffered a damage his anterior cruciate ligament while on loan at Derby in 2016-17.
