Manchester United Football Club look poised to land Nathaniel Clyne in the summer.

The England Under-21 international is regarded as one of the best talents in the country, and Crystal Palace accept they are likely to lose him at the end of the season.

Clyne is out of contract at Selhurst Park in the summer, and The Metro claims United will pay £2.5million for his signature to avoid being involved in a tribunal over compensation.

Sir Alex Ferguson reportedly believes the 20-year-old can be the long-term replacement for right-back Gary Neville, who hung up his boots last season.
