Report: Celtic plot James Wilson loan bid

Manchester United striker James Wilson has emerged as a loan target for Celtic, according to reports.

The 19-year-old broke into the Red Devils' starting lineup last season, and scored one goal in 13 Premier League appearances for Louis van Gaal's side.

However, the England Under-21 international has found first-team opportunities harder to come by this season, prompting the reigning Scottish Premiership champions to weigh up a January loan move, reports The Scotsman.

Wilson recently signed a new four-year deal at Old Trafford, though van Gaal has indicated that he may be willing to let him leave on loan in January.
