Manchester United after England Under-17s defender Dylan Crowe?

Manchester United are reportedly tempted to move for England Under-17s defender Dylan Crowe as he has yet to pen a professional contract with Ipswich Town.

The 17-year-old, used predominantly as a right-back, was part of the Young Lions side that reached the semi-finals of the European U17 Championships.

Ipswich have offered the youngster pro terms, but his delay in signing the contract means that other clubs are about to pounce.

Goal.com suggests that United are prepared to pay the £500,000 required to sign Crowe, although they may face competition from Brighton & Hove Albion, RB Leipzig, Borussia Monchengladbach and Benfica.

Crowe has yet to make his senior competitive bow for Ipswich.
