The 17-year-old, who was top scorer for the Young Lions as they won the Under-19s Euros, has been monitored by a host of clubs from across Europe for some time.

But The Guardian claim United are set to steal a march over the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool and Real Madrid by making a move next month.

Champions League holders Madrid have been watching the full-back all season, while Spurs had a £20m bid rejected for Sessegnon last summer.

Fulham have so far refused to sell their prized-asset but are now believed to be willing to sell for a fee in excess of £30m.

And their manager Slavisa Jokanovic admitted yesterday that he is unsure whether Sessegnon will stay at Craven Cottage in January.

The Serbian said: "In this moment, I am not thinking of being without him for the season, but it is not under my control.

"All the questions are what the value of this player is, but myself, as a coach, I prefer to stay with the more important players for the competition that is ahead of us, but on the other side I can understand the business side too.

"If we want to be competitive we must keep our important players."

Mourinho's move for the Championship's hottest property is not dependent on the sale of Shaw.

However, they know a number of clubs would be willing to take the England international off their hands.

Meanwhile, Spurs are also keen on Sessegnon's twin brother Steven.
