Kieran Tierney 'on Manchester United shortlist'

Manchester United have reportedly placed Celtic's Kieran Tierney on their transfer shortlist as the Red Devils consider strengthening their defence at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

Despite Luke Shaw's improvement in recent weeks, it is understood that United are in the market for a new left-back, and Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon is said to be very much in the thoughts of head coach Jose Mourinho.

However, according to the Daily Record, the 20-time English champions have also been closely monitoring the performances of Celtic full-back Tierney with the view to a potential move.

Tierney came through the youth system at Celtic, and recently signed a new six-year contract with the Hoops.

The nine-time Scotland international has scored three times and registered seven assists in 36 appearances for his club during the 2017-18 campaign.
