That leaves the door open for Jose Mourinho's side to make a big effort to bring him into the fold over the summer.

But they face strong competition from Manchester City, who have also been made aware of the huge potential of the teenager.

City have gained a reputation for one of the best academies in the country and manager Pep Guardiola has encouraged the club to bring more bright young talent through the ranks.

The two Manchester clubs are now expected to go head-to-head in an effort to clinch Redan's services, although Bundesliga club Leipzig also want to sign the striker.
