The Manchester United youth product made only seven appearances for Wolves in the Championship last season with Paul Lambert exiling him from the squad upon taking charge in November. 


Leeds United and Reading are keen to take him in England while Ajax, Heerenveen and PEC Zwolle have also expressed interest in signing the 6ft 3in tall left back who was voted United's U21 player of the year in 2016.

He claimed that Jose Mourinho had described him as a 'top player' during last summer's pre-season and that his future at the club would be evaluated after his time at Wolves.

Borthwick-Jackson told FourFourTwo: 'He's always keeping eyes on me and he has people watching. 

'When I first came into pre-season I got injured early on, and as I recovered he asked me how I was and things like that. When I came back he said: "the squad's a bit too big but I see a future for you here" and that I'm a "top player". 

'He told me to go out and get some experience.'
