Manchester United set to bid for Nottingham striker

Manchester United are reportedly set to launch a formal bid for Nottingham Forest’s exciting young striker, Ben Brereton.

According to reports from the Daily Mirror, United are ‘mulling over a seven-figure offer’ for the 17-year-old forward. Brereton recently has agreed to a new deal with Forest, but the Red Devils will still try to lure him away from the City ground.

Nottingham rate the youngster very highly, with the Forest owner, Fawaz Al Hasawi, suggesting that he expects the youngster to play for the club for many years.
