Taylor Booth is being targeted by Manchester United after impressing manager Erik ten Hag
Booth (centre) rejected multiple contract extension offers by Bayern Munich before joining Dutch side FC Utrecht last summer – a gamble that has paid off with regular first-team football
Booth’s elder brother, Taylor, has however been of increasing interest from United, having been compared to their former target Frenkie de Jong.
