Manchester United are interested in signing Stockport County starlet Sam Barnes.

United reserve team boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that he has scouted the 18-year-old for Sir Alex Ferguson.

And the Norwegian has reported back to Fergie, giving Barnes a glowing report.

18-year-old Barnes, who was on Liverpool's books as a schoolboy, could now be offered the chance of a dream switch to Old Trafford.

"He's strong, reads the game well and has good pace," Solskjaer is quoted by the People.

"I'll be recommending him to the gaffer."
