Sheffield Wednesday boss Jos Luhukay admits it could be hard to keep hold of George Hirst: 'It's really difficult when Manchester United show interest'

Sheffield Wednesday boss Jos Luhukay has admitted England Under-21 star George Hirst could be lured into a summer move to Manchester United.

Teenager Hirst, the son of former Owls fans' favourite David, is out of contract at the end of the season and United are reported to be favourites for his signature.

The 19-year-old has not been selected for first-team football this season after refusing to sign a new deal and some Owls fans are angry the club have not tried harder to keep him.

'It's a decision George will have to make himself,' Luhukay told BBC Radio Sheffield.
