Report: Manchester United keen on Saido Berahino

West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino has emerged as a transfer target for Manchester United, according to reports.

The 21-year-old has scored 12 goals in 36 games for the Baggies this season, and has established himself as a regular in the England Under-21 side.

Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal is considering an approach for Berahino as a replacement for Robin van Persie or Radamel Falcao, who have both struggled at Old Trafford this season, reports The Mirror.

Berahino has been linked with a move away from The Hawthorns for much of the season, with Tottenham Hotspur previously rumoured to be leading the race for his signature.
