This could end up being good business by MUFC, who could do well to raid one of their top four rivals for such a promising talent.
Meghoma has shown immense potential for Spurs at youth level, as well as for the England Under-16s.
United fans will hope their recruitment team have unearthed a gem here, with the club not always getting it right in the transfer market in the last few years.
