Manchester United, Liverpool eye Fulham youngster?

Reports suggest that Manchester United and Liverpool want Fulham youngster Patrick Roberts.

Liverpool and Manchester United have emerged as rivals for Fulham's teenage forward Patrick Roberts, according to reports.

The 16-year-old won his first England youth cap in the Under-16s' 5-0 win over Northern Ireland last September, but regularly turns out for the Cottagers' Under-18 team.

The Express believes that Sir Alex Ferguson and Brendan Rodgers are both keen on the youngster, who can play behind a striker or wide on the right.

However, Goal.com have reported that the West Londoners are desperate to keep Roberts at Craven Cottage and are preparing a full-time contract.

Reports suggest that they are ready to turn down bids in excess of £1m.
