Manchester United monitoring Scotland Under-19 international gem

Manchester United are reportedly keeping close tabs on Championship starlet Oliver Burke, according to the Nottingham Post.

The Premier League giants, who suffered a late 1-0 home defeat to the hands of Southampton on Saturday, are thought to be monitoring the performances of the highly-rated Nottingham Forest winger this term.

The 18-year-old, who is a Scotland Under-19 international, has scored twice in seven league games for Dougie Freedman’s side this season.

Burke, who has been previously linked with a move to Aston Villa, scored his first senior goal for Forest during his club’s 1-1 draw at Cardiff City on December 29.
