West Ham have an interest in taking Cameron Borthwick-Jackson on loan from Manchester United.

The 19-year-old defender is one of a several cut-price options West Ham are exploring as they seek cover for the injured Aaron Cresswell.

Left-back Cresswell is set to be out for up to four months after suffering a knee injury in the Hammers' pre-season friendly win over Karlsruher in Austria.

West Ham's medical chief Stijn Vandenbroucke told the club website: 'Aaron faces a period of rest, followed by treatment and rehabilitation and he will be out for a period of between three and four months.'

His temporary replacement, Borthwick-Jackson, is set to be a victim of Jose Mourinho's clear-out at Old Trafford, with nine players told they are free to move on.

The young defender impressed under Louis van Gaal last season, but has been told he isn't in Mourinho's plans for the coming campaign as the incoming United boss looks to trim down his squad to just 24.

Those not in his plans have been told they will either be sold, leave on loan or train with the under 21 squad, with West Ham interested in offering Borthwick-Jackson the chance of senior football.

He made 14 appearances under van Gaal last season, including six Premier League starts.

Another target is Hull left back Andrew Robertson, with the Hammers having a £7million bid rejected for the Scotland international.

Hull want £15million for the defender, who played a vital role in their promotion to the Premier League last season.
