1 Danny Ings

Manchester United have emerged as firm favourites to sign Burnley striker Danny Ings this summer.

Ings has enjoyed an impressive debut season in the Premier League, netting nine times, and a host of clubs are eyeing the 22-year-old.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham are among those who have been monitoring the England Under-21 international, who is out of contract in the summer.

However, talkSPORT understands United are in pole position to sign Ings and are in advanced talks with his representatives.

Ings favours a switch to Louis van Gaal’s side over their Premier League rivals and United are confident of getting a deal done.

As he is under the age of 24, Burnley will be due a compensation fee from United, but that is only likely to be around £5million.

Ings’ arrival is likely to signal the end of Radamel Falcao’s time at Old Trafford, with the Colombian certain to return to Monaco after a disastrous loan spell.
