Manchester United and Newcastle United are going head-to-head to sign a teenager.

The Red Devils and Magpies are both chasing after a Northern Irish talent who is only 14 years old.

The two Premier League clubs are pursuing a deal for wonderkid Coran Madden, who plays for Cliftonville.

The attacker can play across the front line, while he is also an adept attacking midfielder.

"Those clubs sold their vision to Coran and his family," said Cliftonville head of youth Marc Smyth, per The Express.

"All we can do is guide them in terms of what we think would be good for the boy and the family.

"Manchester United and Newcastle United are massive clubs, and spoke well with the family and wanted to bring them over."
