Nick Powell: On his way out of Gresty Road
Sky Bet
Sky Sports understands that Manchester United are in pole position to seal the signing Crewe starlet Nick Powell.
United are one of four Premier League sides that Sky Sports understand have held talks with Crewe with the others being Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton.
A proposed bid from Manchester City has never materialised, and now United are firm favourites.
Dynamic forward Powell, 18, had a hugely impressive campaign for Alex - helping them to promotion to League One via the play-offs.
Powell and his representatives are believed to have met all interested parties, but United are firmly heading the chase.
Sky Sports has been told the deal is '90 per cent' done and that barring any last-minute issues United will tie up a deal.
It is also understood that the deal could be worth as much as £8million based on appearances and achievments.
