Roy Keane is one of the supporters of the Aston Villa forward, who has been impressive for a number of years.
The top clubs have taken notice of Watkins since he rose from the Championship to become one of the Premier League’s most effective finishers.
In January, Arsenal tried in vain to sign the Villa forward Watkins but lost out.
With 43 goals in the last two whole seasons, the England international has maintained his scoring pace, and United is hoping to take advantage of Rashford’s potential.
He is now on loan at Villa and is doing well, sometimes starting ahead of Watkins.
Man United is prepared to put Villa’s commitment to the test as summer draws near.
Old Trafford officials would think about offering Rashford plus a significant cash payment in exchange for Watkins.
The Midlands team, which has a £40 million option to acquire him permanently, is where the loanee is spending the second half of the season, report Mirror.
Watkins has only started one of Villa’s last six games prior to their Saturday match against Newcastle, a sign of Unai Emery’s admiration for the Manchester loanee and his faith in Rashford.
