Manchester United's highly-rated youngster Omari Forson is set to sign a professional contract.

The 15-year-old midfielder, deemed one of the country's brightest prospects, joined United from Tottenham last year.

Forson has gone on to impress while starring for the club's Under-16 and Under-18 teams this season.

United have moved quickly to tie down the former West Ham academy product to professional terms amid interest from Arsenal.

The Gunners have been keeping a close eye on the England Under-16 international as they restructure their academy.

But the teenager is ready to commit his future to United after being promoted up an age group to play with Neil Ryan's Under-18s.

Forson does not turn 16 until July and his progression has caught the eye of academy bosses who are keen to retain a crop of talented youngsters.
