Manchester United are closely monitoring Dutch international forward Ricky van Wolfswinkel, according to reports. The striker currently playing for Portugese side Sporting Lisbon has scored four goals in six games since moving to the club from utrecht in the summer.

Sporting Lisbon are not willing to sell the 22 year old any time soon but United are watching his progress closely and are contemplating making an official offer for the Dutch forward at the end of the season.

Having paid 5.4 million euros for van Wolfswinkel, Sporting will be insistent on making a significant profit on the player who is regarded as a major prospect in his home country.
