Manchester United this week tied down Luke Shaw to a new contract, marking the crowning of a remarkable rise in form and fortune for the former Southampton man.

The Red Devils will be keen to build on this good news going forward, starting this weekend when they take on Chelsea in a huge test of their mettle as a Premier League force.

With Shaw tied down, there is every opportunity at Old Trafford for United to build down the left hand side and we think that the club should swoop for Fulham star Ryan Sessegnon during the January transfer window.

Sessegnon is comfortably one of the top talents in the game at the moment with bags of room for development given he is still in his teenage years.

Sessegnon has electric pace, is good in front of goal, and for such a young player, has bags of experience already. The thought of pairing him down the left with a player like Shaw is a salivating prospect for the Red Devils, and something which could become a cornerstone of the United side for years to come.

It looks inevitable that Sessegnon will move away from the Cottagers eventually, and it should be United who are on hand to snap up his signature ASAP.
