Manchester United and Liverpool are in contact with Chicago Fire superkid Jhon Duran.

The 18-year-old picked up eight goals and five assists in 27 games last season, and is believed to have attracted interest from around Europe.

Duran's club, Chicago Fire, are becoming something of a feeder club for the Premier League after goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina was sold to Chelsea.

The Sun says United have made contact with the MLS Club about Duran, weeks after Liverpool made similar enquiries.

They also report that the forward's 'agent and family recently travelled to England'.
