Bring him in, Woody! If we get him before he signs a professional contract with Fulham, he is ours for 2 million pounds. Can't see where we could go wrong with this deal, as we would be able to sell him with a profit even if he don't live up to his full potential. With our wage structure, we should be able to outmuscle the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham easily.
I hope we buy him but Spurs seems a more sensible move imo.
Be great to sign one of these wonder kids before they go on to become stars and we're linked with multi-million pound moves for them.
Sign him then loan him to a club like Liverpool to develop.
No brainer, great potential, I can see him developing into more than just a LB ala Gareth Bale
Another Dele Alli methinks. Boyhood Liverpool fan whos spurs bound.
Makes sense his family and friends are all in London.

Spurs looks likelier destination tbh. Another inexperienced defender with Shaw already in his ranks doesn't make sense.
Buy him NOW cheaper and loan him back to Fulham for a couple of seasons. If he's as good as people make out he will be worth it.
Buying him for £50 million in 2-3 years doesn't make sense either.
Yeah, but he has to become £50 million defender first.
Since we're so keen to throw big money around now so often, I'd love if we did what we used to do and target the best young British players no matter their price. Pay a couple extra million quid if we have to beat our competition then loan them out until they're ready. Eventually you're going to have your hands on an Ali or a Bale. (Plus sell all the Walcotts')
Ryan Sessegnon of 'significant interest' to Manchester United if Fulham stance changes

So it means he isn't for sale but Sky will just run some news on it.

Between Shaw, Blind, Darmian and at a push Mitchell we're ok for left backs this season without having an outstanding one (unless Shaw progresses his potential into actual ability) so I'd be happy with buying Sessegnon and loaning him back to Fulham til the end of season so he's playing regularly then if he's progressed as he very easily could do we take on the pre season tour and give him minutes as from what I've seen of him he could be VERY good.
I think Shaw will get to Christmas, if he hasn't nailed down a starting spot I recon we will bring in a new left back.
Bring him here Woody.
It's a very clever piece of business if we can pull this off...and the timing is ideal too.
Shaw is close to fitness, and a 1st team return, and we do have cover at LB (even if its not the best)
But sign Sessengnon and loan him back to Fulham for a couple of years and we should have a ready made replacement for Shaw if need be, otherwise we have good competition, or we can sell on for a profit.
It's surely a win-win situation..!!

Can he play LWB?
Probably be his best position all round. I'm really glad we're interested and not letting Liverpool/Spurs just hoover up the best young English talent.
Arguably would be his best position. He is probably best in the left wing inside forward position but is also a good defender. He tends to score a good amount of goals in the more advanced positions.
I really hope so. The lad is a very exciting prospect. But if I was him, i'd probably not move to us and go to a club he'd be guaranteed first team football. Good to see we're at least looking at him though.
I wouldn't loan him back to Fulham if we do sign him. We don't have any outstanding left backs, the problem would be Mourinho giving minutes to a 17 year old although if the reports are to be believed he's a 'keen admirer' so he could get enough playing time to break into the team.
The kid is only 17 and needs regular game time and as of now, he's not better than Shaw or Blind as a LB. Also, allowing him to stay at Fulham for another year may help our case in getting him over the many other clubs in for him.
A bit lightweight right now, no?
I think he could be fantastic this kid.
Would be very good signing
Mourinho's kid is at Fulhams academy so I expect Mourinho to know a lot about this player.
Big fan of Sessegnon. Would be great for us to sign him now. Loaning him back to Fulham for a year would be a good idea too. Prob not quite ready to be our 1st choice lb/lwb but will probably cost big money in the near future. Better to get him while he's still pretty cheap. Not only would it cost less but it would put less pressure on him to succeed early.
let's sign him and loan him back to fulham. very potential LB I think.
Sign him up, stop him from going to Spurs .
.We need to be like Real Madrid and try to hoover up the best domestic talents.
This is his second season playing senior football. He has some growing to do but he could cope. That said, I think he should stay at Fulham.
We should be all over signing him and loaning him back, especially if Spurs up the ante.
He's not United class, no thanks.
If we're striving to compete with Real Madrid and PSG we have to be thinking bigger and more ambitiously.

He's 17, mate, and with all the talent to potentially become the next Bale.
This boy has serious potential though. Would love this signing.
Yes, you have something there.
Let someone else sign him then we'll simply splash out 100m in a couple of years or so!
Good God, this kid is very good. If we can get him on good deal, then loan him to get a good education then it makes sense
