Manchester United have entered the chase for Scottish youngster Jack Wylie, with Arsenal also keen on the Rangers prodigy.

According to Daily Star, Manchester United have joined Arsenal in the hunt for Rangers whizkid Jack Wylie. The Scottish youngster is a firm target for the Premier League giants, but Rangers do not want to lose him on the cheap and remain desperate to secure his future.

Jack Wylie is one of the prominent names coming out of Scottish football recently. The 15-year-old Scottish prodigy has already flourished for Rangers’ Under-17 side, and top clubs from England have kept a watch on his progress.

Arsenal have tracked the versatile defender for nearly six months. And they are optimistic about an approach before January. The Gunners are keen to add him to the youth squads and oversee a developmental process to bring him into their future first team.

Arsenal and Leeds United have reportedly been keen to deal with Rangers. Both clubs would take the 15-year-old Scottish prodigy in a heartbeat. Now, Manchester United have joined them in the hunt for the teenage sensation. Erik ten Hag is reportedly interested in the Rangers defender’s development.

The Red Devils’ boss reportedly sent scouts to watch Wylie in action for Rangers’ Under-17 side. Manchester United want to get started on a deal with the Scottish club and get the player on board with time being short.

Rangers are not interested in a sale and want to avoid repeating some of their past mistakes. Earlier in the year, they lost prodigious talent Rory Wilson to Aston Villa and received only £350,000 for his transfer.

They are staring down the barrel in a similar situation with Wylie. The 15-year-old Scottish prodigy is eligible to sign professional terms in January, and Rangers are keen to tie him to a long-term deal.

With top Premier League giants like Arsenal and Manchester United circling the teenager, Rangers know the problematic proposition of convincing Wylie over a new contract. They might become helpless if he decides against staying at Ibrox, which will leave the Scottish outfit with no choice but to entertain bids.

Interest from Manchester United and Arsenal could pique Wylie’s interest in switching sides. The idea of pursuing a promising career at one of the Premier League bigwigs is all too tempting.
