Skysports.com understands that Manchester United are hot on the trail of Dundee United starlet Scott Allan.
The 19-year-old midfielder has made his breakthrough at Tannadice this season and a number of clubs are already queuing up to catch him in action.He is also a Scotland Under 21 international, with a series of excellent displays on the international scene leading to speculation back in August about his future, with Newcastle mentioned before deadline day.
Now skysports.com understands that Manchester United
are one of the clubs keeping tabs on him.Martin Ferguson attended Dundee United's clash with Dunfermline last month with the purpose of catching Allan in action, but on the day he did not make it off the bench.
But with Sir Alex dispatching his brother, and most trusted scout north of the border, it is a clear indication that Allan has made a big impact.
It is also believed that Allan is yet to agree a new contract at Tannadice, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.
Should Allan decide to leave and move to England then the Tangerines would only be due minimal compensation.
Old Firm giants Rangers and Celtic are also well aware of Allan, but the chance of a move to the Premier League could be too much for any young Scot to turn down.
United boss Peter Houston has already confirmed talks are on-going over a new deal, and they remain hopeful he could be persuaded that his short-term future is best served on Tayside.
