SHANKLAND TUG OF WAR?

Lawrence Shankland is set to find himself at the centre of a tug of war between Stoke City and Nottingham Forest.

Both clubs are reportedly keen on a summer swoop for the 24-year-old.

Shankland was initially a target for Stoke and Forest in January and they are to renew that interest.

The striker has enjoyed a prolific season - including scoring his first goal for Scotland in the 6-0 win against San Marino last October.

That was one of 29 strikes he plundered in only 35 appearances for club and country before the season was put on hold.

United are in a strong position to negotiate a fee for Shankland as he signed a three-year contract when he joined the club from Ayr United last summer.
