As per The Sun, Manchester United scouted Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney during midweek’s 4-nil league cup win over Dundee, and also watched the teenage sensation during the 5-nil Champions League loss at the hands of PSG.
While no reports have emerged yet, it wouldn’t be out of place to imagine the Red Devils talent spotters were present during Celtic’s 2-nil over Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday.
United want a new left-back, with Luke Shaw showing no promises under manager Jose Mourinho.
The 22-year-old ex-Southampton was once the most expensive teenager in world football back in 2014 upon completing a £30million move to Old Trafford, but his future at the club is being shrouded in doubt.
As a replacement, the Red Devils continue to look at Tierney, and the 20-year-old Scottish international remains firmly on the radar of several top Premier League teams as well following series of impressive performances.
Lots of offers are bound to come pouring in for the Celtic academy graduate next summer, and it’s not likely that the Parkhead outfit would be able to hold on to their man once a hard-to-reject deal is tabled.
