WHAT TEDDY SHERINGHAM SAID
Speaking to , Sheringham said: "I think he definitely could be the man to replace Kevin De Bruyne, but I think that he could be exactly the player that Manchester United should be going for. He is certainly one player who shines like a beacon, someone who makes a difference on the football pitch. He will definitely be sought after during the summer transfer window. He’s top of my list at the moment. I just think if he's available to move on and he’s ready to leave Forest, I think every club would want him in their armoury."
