Manchester United are watching Vancouver Whitecaps whizkid Alphonso Davies.

The Canadian club have been trying to keep the 15 year-old away from publicity but he had already shone six times as a sub before starting the 3-3 draw against Colorado Rockies on September 24.

The Sun says Canadian sources claim United's America scout Jorge Alvial will check him out at home to Seattle Sounders this Sunday.

Liberia-born Davies could well start this game too as the Whitecaps seem certain to miss out on the play-offs, so can look more freely to the future.

Vancouver would surely demand a huge fee for a remarkable player equally blessed with pace and technique.

Davies has already played several Canadian Championship and CONCACAF Champions League games, as well as featuring for Whitecaps' under-16s and under-18s.
