Manchester United are believed to be showing significant interest in Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon, a reported long-time target for Tottenham Hotspur.

Highly-rated Fulham full-back Ryan Sessegnon has emerged as a transfer target for Manchester United, according to reports.

The 17-year-old impressed in his breakthrough season last year, starting 17 Championship games, coming off the bench in a further nine, and contributing with seven goals and three assists in all competitions.

Sessegnon, who can play anywhere down the left, was also part of England's victorious Euro Under-19 Championship-winning side and has since signed his first professional deal at Craven Cottage.

Tottenham Hotspur are believed to be in the hunt for Sessegnon, but according to Sky Sports News, Jose Mourinho is also a huge admirer of the attacking left-back and is significantly interested in his services.

The report also claims that United would allow Sessegnon to continue his education at Fulham this season by loaning him back to the West London outfit.

Sessegnon joined the Cottagers' youth system in 2008, with his twin brother Steven also at the club.
