Kieran Tierney on Manchester United’s transfer shortlist

Celtic’s young sensation, Kieran Tierney is now seeing the effect of his brilliant form at left back with Manchester United showing an interest in signing the 20-year-old.

As The Daily Record reports, Jose Mourinho has been impressed by Tierney’s performances after featuring regularly in the league and also up against some European powerhouses such as Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

The professionalism and maturity shown by Tierney in Europe lead to him being named in the Champions League breakthrough team, containing 11 of the best prospects on the continent.

Tierney, as well as young left-back Ryan Sessegnon at Fulham, are on the radar of the Red Devils, with Mourinho likely to be priced out of a deal for a more experienced defender.

Although this may be an attractive destination, it may come too early for young Tierney who is still developing and needs regular playing time to fulfil his true potential.
