Man Utd will allow the youngster to leave on loan this summer and talks are ongoing.
The 20-year-old spent the last season on loan with Accrington Stanley, where he gained valuable experience with three goals in 25 appearances. His performances over the last campaign earned him plenty of admirers, with lots of loan interest shown towards him this summer.
