Manchester United hero Teddy Sheringham has been impressed by young striker James Wilson.

West Ham United coach Sheringham, speaking with MUTV, explains why young Wilson has caught his expert eye.

"I really like James Wilson," he said. "It's a shame for him that Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie are in front of him. Louis van Gaal said recently that he doesn't have a striker who can score 20 goals a season, but I think if you put Wilson up there with Wayne Rooney then you'd have two players who can reach those figures for you.

"He's very direct, scores goals, has good pace and that added bonus of being a left-footer - they always tend to catch defenders off guard and it always looks more special when the left-footed strike goes in. I like his attitude, he looks a good player, a good prospect and one that everyone needs to keep an eye on."
