However the youngster, who comes highly rated, will NOT be part of the manager’s first-team plans initially should the deal progress beyond the medical stage.
McCann, a midfielder, will be drafted into the Lowland League B team first, with a view to promotion to the first team at a later stage.
Gerrard confirmed: "We’re certainly aware of Charlie McCann, he’s a really good talent, a strong talent.
"It is close, but there’s nothing to report really.
"It will be a B-team signing but as a management team if it happens we will follow him really closely and analyse where he’s at and once he’s ready for an opportunity it will certainly present itself.”
Reports on Friday morning suggested a three-year deal was on the table for the 19-year-old with others claiming a fee of around £700,000 would be due the Old Trafford club.
