Ashley Fletcher is a wanted man - at Old Trafford and beyond.

The 20-year-old Manchester United striker is contemplating the next stage of his career and he has a number of options.

United have offered the striker - along with a group of other young hopefuls - a new contract after securing breakthrough teenagers Marcus Rashford and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson on new Old Trafford deals since the end of the season.

Rashford jumped ahead of Fletcher last season under former manager Louis van Gaal while the latter was out on loan at Barnsley.

The Academy product from Keighley in Yorkshire was a big success at Oakwell, scoring in the Tykes' Wembley win in the Football League Trophy and in the Play-Off final to help them back into the Championship.

Barnsley want him back - either permanently or on another loan - and have reportedly lodged a bid.

But new Leeds United boss Gary Monk has also entered the picture and wants to take Fletcher to Elland Road, again either on a loan or permanently.

It is not clear how many young players will get first-team opportunities under new manager Jose Mourinho but Fletcher has not given up on the idea of emulating Rashford's rise.

He said recently: “Hopefully people might think of us together as young players at United, but what Marcus has done is unbelievable. Scoring for United’s first team, scoring for England…

“He deserves every bit of the attention he is getting – but maybe I can run him for his place next season at United if I am back there."
