It has been reported that Manchester United hope to do business with Dundee United for Ryan Gauld in January.
The Evening Telegraph claims that the reigning Premier League champions are eying a £2 million move for the teenage midfielder.
United boss David Moyes has taken charge of the club’s dossier on the teenager.
And his personal interest could spark a bidding war that nets Dundee United a record fee for the 17-year-old.
