Fulham have reportedly emerged as the favourites to sign Manchester United youngster Reece James on a season-long loan deal.

The 21-year-old is widely expected to leave Old Trafford this summer and has been strongly linked with a move to Nottingham Forest.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Fulham are currently ahead in the race to sign the left-back as they prepare for another season of Championship football.

James, who played in the Championship last season for both Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town, signed a new long-term deal at Old Trafford earlier this year.
