Paul Merson praises Ryan Sessegnon's 'great' finishing
Manchester United have already shelled out close to £150million on the likes of Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic.
But the Red Devils are still eying reinforcements ahead of the end of the transfer window next week.
On Jose Mourinho’s radar is a left-back to provide competition for the likes of Daley Blind and Luke Shaw.
Both players have struggled to nail down a spot in the 54-year-old’s starting line-up over the past 12 months and that has led them to consider a bid for Sessegnon.

But his determination to stay in London makes Tottenham favourites to secure his signature.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have emerged as the best place for youngsters to ply their trade in recent years.

The Red Devils signed the likes of Louis Saha and Edwin van der Sar during Sir Alex Ferguson’s time in charge.
And the Cottagers benefitted from the relationship by signing Dimitar Berbatov for £5million back in 2012.
