Forest plan Ben Brereton stay amid Manchester United, Liverpool talk

Nottingham Forest owner Fawaz Al Hasawi has played down speculation linking young forward Ben Brereton with Manchester United and Liverpool.

Brereton, 17, had been linked with a move in the January window, and the rumours have intensified after he was brought into the first team by caretaker manager Gary Brazil, impressing on his first start in a 2-0 win over Rotherham on Jan. 31 before striking a late winner against Aston Villa on Saturday.

Forest have sold a number of academy graduates in recent years, including the £13 million sale of Oliver Burke to RB Leipzig in August, while current first-team midfielders Ben Osborn and Matty Cash have been linked with exits.
