Manchester United are keeping
tabs on Stockport starlet Josh Thompson, skysports.com
understands.
Highly-rated defender Thompson is believed to have spent last
week on trial at the Premier League champions.
The 18-year-old is regarded as one of the best young prospects
outside the top flight after coming through Stockport's youth
set-up into the first team this season.
Thompson had a spell on trial at West Brom earlier this month
and a number of sides are believed to be monitoring him.
United are one of the teams tracking Thompson and they cast an
eye over the centre-half in training last week, prior to the
Champions League final.
Stockport are resigned to losing their best players after going
into administration last month and United could move for Thompson
to head off interest from other clubs.
