Manchester United are keen on signing Nottingham Forest's 19-year-old midfielder Oliver Burke. Manchester united Manager Jose Mourinho sees Burke as a player who could benefit the Red Devils in the future and is ready to loan him back to the City Ground should a deal be completed, said The Sun on Sunday.

Burke plays predominantly as a right-winger for Forest. He has two international caps for the Scotland national team and has been compared to Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale. The Sun says West Brom had a £6m ($8m) bid rejected by Forest for Burke earlier this summer, while German giants Bayern Munich have spoken to the Championship club about a possible £10m deal. Arsenal and Barcelona are also interested in the player, with the latter sending scouts to watch his performances.
