Interest from Man Utd and Newcastle in Sunderland's Rigg

Several Premier League clubs have been closely monitoring the development of the talented 17-year-old player.

Now it appears that United are ready to make their move, per talkSPORT.

The source states that they may be ready to put in an offer for Rigg in January.

Man United want to fend off competition from rivals for his signature, including Newcastle United.

Given new owners INEOS want to build a youth-focused team with a British emphasis, Rigg would fit in at Old Trafford.
