But, according to the Daily Mail, United have a job keeping the young midfielder on their books with Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Bayern Munich keeping tabs on the Magpies’ under-18.

The report states: “We understand that Clark would prefer to stay with his hometown club but there has been interest from Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Bayern Munich over the course of recent months, such is his reputation through academy football.”

Clark had two spells at United as a player, making just shy of 200 appearances between 1990-1997 before returning to Newcastle for his final year as a player in 2006/07.

He had two years at Sunderland between 1997-1999.
