Manchester United scouts are watching KAA Gent striker Gift Orban.

The young Nigeria has a record of 19 goals in 19 games this season.

Nieuwsblad says United scouts were in the stands to see Orban score a hat-trick in victory over Cercle Brugge last week.

The 20 year-old is viewed as a potential project player by United.

And in Belgium it's suggested they are leading the race for Orban's signature.
