The hunt is on for United starlet

Having shone on loan at Bury, the performances of Nicky Ajose have made him much sought according to Sky Sports.

Ajose, who has been at Gigg Lane for the majority of the season, has played a huge part in Bury’s push for promotion with 12 goals in 24 appearances as well as a number of assists thus his performances have attracted the attention of a number of clubs who hope to acquire his talents for next season.

Bury had hoped to take him on loan again especially if they achieved promotion to League One but the lure of Championship football may turn Ajose’s head as the likes of Norwich, Leeds and Middlesbrough are all interested in securing his services for next season.

Ajose,19. signed a new deal in January before extending his loan deal with Bury and can play up front as well as in wide positions and is just one of a number of youngsters impressing whilst out on loan.
