Celtic defender Daniel Church, 15, is reportedly a target of Manchester United as the Premier League side set about overhauling their youth ranks.

Manchester United have reportedly spent the last few months tracking Celtic's 15-year-old defender Daniel Church.

The Red Devils are expected to bolster their youth ranks during the summer by raiding a number of other clubs for their talent.

According to ESPN, one of the players that is of interest to the 20-time champions of England is Church, who helped Celtic's Under-17 side to lift the Glasgow Cup at the expense of rivals Rangers in April.

The report adds that United had originally been keen on 16-year-old Jack Aitchison, but they switched their interest to Church after the striker signed a three-year contract at Parkhead.
