The Sunderland forward will be put into the club's youth side.

United have also reportedly agreed a deal to sign highly-rated Barcelona right-back Marc Jurado.

The 16-year-old has been regarded as one of the club's hottest academy prospects for a while and Barcelona were hoping they would be able to keep him in Spain. He will follow Hugill into the academy.

Jude Bellingham, 16, has impressed for Birmingham City and has already visited United's Carrington training base ahead of a potential £30m transfer in the summer.

The Evening Standard report that should the youngster complete his Red Devils move, he will be plunged straight into the first-team despite his age.
