The Old Trafford outfit are reportedly highly interested in the young midfielder as one of the future, as per The Sun. Rigg, a product of the Sunderland academy, has already garnered plenty of attention for his performances for the youth sides at the Stadium of Light.

He is rated as one of the most promising young footballers in the country having already captained England’s under-16 side.
