A report from ESPN says that Manchester United are keeping a close eye on USMNT rising star Taylor Booth.

The American midfielder, 22, has impressed at FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie and is apparently an alternative option to Mason Mount as United are struggling to seal a deal with Chelsea for the England international.

Booth has had a dramatic rise in recent years and the former Bayern Munich academy product is ready for the next step from the Netherlands.

Would a move to Man United be too big a jump too soon in his career? We may be about to find out. Worst case scenario he joins Man United and is then loaned out to gain more experience.

It would be very tough for Booth to turn this move down if it happened and after getting valuable experience in the Dutch top-flight at a young age, it once again proves that young American players should base their first move to Europe on one thing and one thing only: getting the most minutes possible.
