Manchester United are eyeing a move for Ajax teen sensation Justin Kluivert.

The Red Devils have tracked the 18-year-old for more than a year as they look to improve on the youth talent at the club.

As part of the move to improve the link between the senior squad and youth level they are also looking at highly-rated Fulham full-back Ryan Sessegnon.

Manchester United are keen on Justin Kluivert, who spoke with Jose Mourinho after the Europa League final

Tottenham have been linked with moves for both players in recent weeks.

Kluivert was pictured speaking to Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho in the aftermath of the Premier League side's Europa League victory over Ajax in Stockholm in May.

It is alleged Mourinho said to him during the exchange: 'You are a special one, let's make a special transfer.

The Red Devils also want Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon in the upcoming January window

Tottenham have been linked with both players and failed to lure Sessegnon in the summer

'One more season, then you come to Manchester, and become my striker.'

Kluivert has emerged a potential star of the future over the last two seasons at Ajax and has scored four times in 14 Eredivisie appearances this term.

Sessegnon has been targeted by Premier League giants including Spurs, however the 17-year-old signed a long-term contract at Craven Cottage earlier this year. A figure of £25million in order to secure his signature has been mooted.
