Justin Bieber's manager is said to be backing The Wanted's bid to crack America.
Scott 'Scooter' Braun met the boyband when they supported Bieber at London's O2 Arena last year and later invited them to tour with the 'Baby' singer in South America.
Braun also secured a slot on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for The Wanted earlier this month.
"Scooter is always on the lookout for the next big thing," a source told The Sun.
"It's just an instinct thing but if he's backing them, there's every chance they could do well in the States."
Tickets to the boyband's second New York show sold out this week and they are already being followed round the US by female fans, the report adds.
