Man Utd striker eyes January transfer window move: Talks to start soon

Wilson was viewed as one of the top prospects to emerge from Manchester United’s academy, scoring twice on his Premier League debut in May 2014.

But injuries have hampered his development and he has only just fully recovered from a serious knee injury sustained in October 2016.

Wilson has been building his fitness with Ricky Sbragia's Under-23 squad and he scored last week in the 4-2 defeat to West Ham.

And the 21-year-old now feels ready to go out and gain more first-team experience. 

When asked whether a loan move could be on the cards in the New Year, he told MUTV: "I don't see why not. 

“Obviously, the summer transfer window has gone and there was a lot of interest. But the staff all came to an agreement that I would stay until January to build on what I've already worked for.

"So I think it's certainly a possibility. We'll just have to talk and have a few conversations with the manager and certain people around here. I'm not ruling it out but we'll come to an agreement over what needs to be done."

Wilson then opened up about being injured for such a long time.

"The recovery is a process and I think I've dealt with it quite well mentally," he explained. 

"If you're not training for 90 minutes, which you can't always do, I think it's really hard to get that unique fitness you need for a full game.

“It's just a matter of keeping playing games and staying as fit as I can.

"I've listened to the advice of everyone around me and they have been brilliant throughout my process. I can't really describe it but it's like you really want to get out there. 

“Yet you get little setbacks and how you deal with them is really important. The help from the people around the place is a massive part of that and they have definitely done brilliantly for me."
