West Brom and Tottenham are attempting to close a loan move for Manchester United forward James Wilson before the close of the transfer window on Tuesday night.

Over 15 clubs have registered an interest in Wilson and sources close to the negotiations have toldSportsmail that the player is now considering leaving the club to play regular football.

Wilson's possible exit arrives despite the fact that United have only Wayne Rooney as a recognised striker after Javier Hernandez signed for Bayer Leverkusen, although Anthony Martial is on the brink of signing from Monaco.

Manager Louis van Gaal has spoken of the possibility of handing Wilson more opportunities this season but Wilson has not made the match day squad for the first six games of the season.

It is also understood that certain clubs are exploring the possibility of signing Wilson on a permanent deal. As of Monday night, the player was not ruling out the chance that he could be persuaded to leave. It remains to be seen whether Van Gaal will step in to ensure one of the club's most talented youngsters remains at Old Trafford.
