Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United are sniffing around Nottingham Forest’s youngsters.

Nottingham Forest fans have seen far too many of their most exciting youngsters up sticks and leave the City Ground before they came close to fulfilling their potential.

And, with the exception of current Newcastle United skipper Jamaal Lascelles, many have discovered that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

Patrick Bamford embarked on a relentless series of loans when leaving for Chelsea while never managing to break into The Blues’ first-team plans, while Oliver Burke’s career has stalled big time despite successive record-breaking moves to RB Leipzig and West Brom.

So Nottingham Forest fans have been quick to remind Matthew Bondswell and Alex Mighten of this amid reports that the 16-year-old pair could both leave this summer.

The Mirror stated on Tuesday that Manchester United are in talks with left-back Bondswell, an England youth ace who has shone for Forest’s U18 side this season.

ESPN reports that Liverpool are also keen to hand the teenager a dream move to his boyhood club and it is understood that Bondswell has so far rejected Forest’s offers of a scholarship contract.

The Mirror, meanwhile, adds that Manchester United are keen on Mighten, though Nottingham Forest are a little more confident of keeping the tricky winger.

But should the teenage pair listen to the cautionary tale provided by worried supporters before making a massive decision on their futures?
