Wrexham are weighing up a move for the attacking midfielder once seen by Sir Alex Ferguson as a successor to Paul Scholes.
Ferguson paid Crewe Alexandra £6million for Nick Powell 11 years ago but the talented youngster - seen as one of the outstanding English players of his generation - never blossomed at Old Trafford and had loan spells as Wigan Athletic, Leicester City and Hull City before signing a permanent deal with Wigan in 2016.
After three seasons at the DW Stadium, Powell moved to Stoke City but became a free agent at the end of the season having scored 28 goals in 119 appearances for the Potters.
