Manchester United told £50m could secure Fulham midfielder Joshua King

Manchester United have been told £50m – almost €60m – should be enough to sign Fulham midfielder Joshua King.

The 19-year-old Englishman is regarded as a potential transfer target for the Old Trafford club, who are among the leading contenders for his signature. Several other major clubs are also interested in the rising player.

Transfer News Live, citing Football Insider, reports that Manchester United have been given an indication of the fee required to complete a deal. King is open to a move, although a transfer in January is considered unlikely, with talks more likely to take place in the summer.

King has scored two goals and provided one assist in seven appearances for Fulham this season.
