According to the Guardian Fergie is keeping close tracks on Nott. Forrests young central defender Matthew Dawson. Kid has already trained with england squad and is meant to be one of the top prospects around - dippers and Leeds also after him - fee around 8 million but move not expected before the summer.

Thing is with Wes/Rio/O'Shea/Silvestre it's not like we are short of quality young players who can play this position - unless Fergie really thinks that O'shea and Mickey should both stick to the full back position. Dawson kid is meant to be quality though.
 
Its Michael Dawson I think.

One enthusiastic admirer(maybe his agent ;) ) claimed he would be the best english defender since Bobby Moore, already better than Rio at the same age. A bigun too- 6'5", his quality passing is what sets him apart apparently, and he is nicknamed the 'hammer' by teammates.

But seriously how many young CBs do we need?? I'd expect him to go to the sheep or barcodes before us, considering the competition at OT.
