MANCHESTER UNITED are keeping tabs on Leicester winger Harvey Barnes as a possible transfer alternative to Jadon Sancho.
The 22-year-old attacker has had an impressive season so far and made his debut for England in a 3-0 win over Wales in October.

The Red Devils scouting department have been impressed with the Foxes ace, and have been watching him closely.
SunSport understands Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is also a fan of Barnes, and has been keeping a close watch on his progress.
And United could be tempted into making a move, with Borussia Dortmund still refusing to lower their £100m-plus asking price for Sancho.
Solskjaer made the ex-Manchester City winger his No1 target last summer, but the German giants stood strong and kept their man.
It is understood Leicester value Barnes at around £60m, but would refuse any approaches for one of their star men in January.
He played alongside Harry Maguire at the Foxes, and he is also a supporter of his Three Lions and former club team-mate’s ability.

United have around £30m to spend when the transfer window opens, plus any money made from player sales and loans deals.
Barnes broke into the Leicester first-team in 2016 before heading out on loan to MK Dons, Barnsley and West Brom.
He has now made 65 league appearances for the Foxes and scored ten times, while making his way through the England youth teams.
