#1
Source: Skysports.com

Skysports.com understands Manchester United are tracking highly-rated Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson.

A number of clubs are thought to be chasing the England Under-21 international following a number of impressive performances for club and country over the last 12 months.

Chelsea and Manchester City are believed to be keeping tabs on Henderson, but United are hoping to steal a march on their rivals for the 20-year-old.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and his assistant Mike Phelan were interested observers at Sunderland's clash at Blackburn on Monday night and Henderson was thought to be the reason for their attendance at Ewood Park.

Ferguson is understood to be keen to reshape his midfield options and he sees Henderson as a player with a bright future ahead of him

Sunderland are desperate to keep hold of Henderson, but they could face it difficult to turn down a sizeable offer from any of the midfielder's suitors.


Fergie still looking to build for the future by the looks of things. Has worked in the past, hope it continues to work.

Quote:MANCHESTER United have won the £20million scramble for the signature of Sunderland’s emerging England international Jordan Henderson.

The 20-year-old, who earned his first senior cap in November’s Wembley friendly against France, has attracted a number of Premier League admirers including Manchester City and Chelsea.

But Sunderland boss Steve Bruce, currently in talks over a new contract to reward his outstanding work on Wearside, believes attacking midfielder Henderson,, is bound for Old Trafford in the summer.

Bruce’s special relationship with his former boss Sir Alex Ferguson has helped swing the deal United’s way.

The exact details of the transfer have yet to be finalised but both Sunderland and the player have indicated that Old Trafford will be Henderson’s destination.

United could offer North East born Michael Carrick as part of the deal but it is believed that Bruce would prefer Ferguson to allow him to keep on-loan Danny Welbeck.

But the United boss believes that Welbeck can use his season long loan experience to spark a successful career with his parent club and is reluctant to part with the striker.
