Erik ten Hag thought to be 'actively monitoring the progress of American Taylor Booth', with view to bringing the 21-year-old to Man United after he made huge strides in his career at Dutch side Utrecht

He is the new kid on the block. Another American who used the Bundesliga as his right of passage and now could be heading to these shores with Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag among his admirers.

Like Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams and Christian Pulisic before him, Taylor Booth always dreamed of making it big in Europe.

Spotted in the US by Bundesliga scouts, he was invited for trials at Bayern Munich as a 17-year old. It helped he had an Italian passport, courtesy of his father Chad's heritage, but Booth’s route to the top has had its challenges.
