Three clubs have now been given permission to talk to Cardiff City's highly-rated starlet Aaron Ramsey, but the player has been urged to sign for United by Wales Under-21 manager Brian Flynn.
The 17-year-old was on Tuesday given permission to talk to United by Cardiff, who also confirmed that another unnamed Premier League club - reported to be Arsenal - had made a successful bid. Then on Wednesday Everton confirmed their £5million offer had been accepted.
Reds chief executive David Gill has since revealed that if Ramsey does opt for a move to United, he would most likely be loaned back to Cardiff next season.
Wales U21 boss Flynn believes the move to Old Trafford would be ideal for the player, who has shown great potential in just 22 appearances for Cardiff.
"Im not in the least bit surprised United are in for Aaron," says Flynn. "And with the reputation Sir Alex has for nurturing young players, he could not go to a better club.
"Sir Alex is a master in the art of developing young footballers and I have long felt that it was a matter of when, not if, Aaron would make the step up to a Premier League club."
Ramsey has made rapid progress since making his Bluebirds debut in April 2007, and his performances in Cardiff's run to the FA Cup final alerted the wider world to his burgeoning talent.
"I think this could be a good move for him," added Flynn. "He has everything temperament, attitude, ability and work ethic to be a top Premier League and international player for the next 15 years. No wonder Sir Alex Ferguson likes the look of him, he's a special talent."
