# Manchester United eyeing move for Trott

Manchester City and Manchester United are both eyeing up a move for West Ham youth goalkeeper Nathan Trott ahead of the next transfer window.

[According to The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/nathan-trott-manchester-united-neighbours-13396389), the Manchester duo have been scouting Trott and have been impressed with the shot-stopper.

The 19-year-old is highly thought of at West Ham and seen as a potential future first-team star for the Hammers.

The report claims that German side RB Leipzig are also holding an interest in the goalkeeper.

West Ham are said to be in talks over a new contract for Trott, as they look to tie him down to a long-term contract in the coming months.

His current West Ham deal expires at the end of next season, with West Ham also looking to tie Declan Rice down to a new contract.

Rice has worked his way into the first-team and is impressing in the Premier League this season.
