Matt Targett hopes for the chance to succeed Luke Shaw at Southampton.
The young left-back has been likened to the new Manchester United signing.
Targett, an England U19 international, told the Daily Echo: "You hear the phrase all the time, but for me it really would be a dream come true.
"When Luke left it was a case of mixed emotions for me.
"Obviously I was sad to see him leave as he is a good friend and we've grown up together.
"But on the other hand I know it is a great opportunity to make that position my own."
