Manchester United scout Reading goalkeeper Coniah Boyce-Clarke?

Manchester United have reportedly sent scouts to assess the development of Reading goalkeeper Coniah Boyce-Clarke.

Despite being just 16 years of age, Boyce-Clarke has already made regular appearances for Reading's Under-23 side, naturally leading to watchful eyes in the stands.

United have been monitoring the teenager for some time, partly due to goalkeeping coach Richard Hartis having worked with the youngster in the England setup.

According to The Mirror, the Premier League giants had representatives present as Boyce-Clarke played for England Under-17s last week.

The prospect, who penned a new contract at Reading in May, impressed as the Young Lions won the Syrenka Cup in Poland.
