Manchester United are watching Reading striker Danny Loader.
Sky Sports says the 20-year-old is out of contract this summer and talks on a new deal have stalled.
The former England youth international, who made his Reading debut for Jaap Stam as a 16-year old, almost left the Madejski Stadium on deadline day last summer, only for a move to Wolves to fall through.
United are one of several Premier League clubs considering a bid for the Loader ahead of the January market.
