Manchester United have been linked with a move for Utrecht midfielder Taylor Booth this summer and coach Benni McCarthy appears to have revealed Erik ten Hag's interest in the midfielder dates back to last summer.
Booth was previously on the books of German giants Bayern Munich, but turned down the offer of a new contract to join Utrecht in search of regular first team football. And the 22-year-old's decision has paid dividends, with Booth becoming a key player for Utrecht and earning international honours.
As a result of his impressive breakout season, the Daily Mail claims United are weighing up a move for Booth as a potential alternative to Mason Mount. And former Blackburn and West Ham striker McCarthy, who joined Ten Hag's coaching staff last July, appears to have confirmed that the move came about as a result of the Red Devils boss making enquiries about Booth, who he shares an agent with.
