Man Utd on verge of beating City and Juve for the signing of a French starlet

Manchester United are not only focusing their transfer efforts on big names. The Red Devils have completed the signing of Vicotr Lindelof and have set sights on Inter star duo Marcelo Brozovic and Ivan Perisic.

The Red Devils, however, are also keeping a close eye on the best prospects around Europe and according to L’Equipe they are close to signing Psg starlet Aliou Badara Traore, 16, who can leave the Ligue 1 giants as a free agent.

​Traore is a product of Psg’s academy and the reliable French paper reports Manchester United are close to securing a deal to take him to the Old Trafford.

Last summer he joined amateur side Sarcelles on loan.

​According to reports in England, the promising centre midfielder had a trail with Manchester United in February and both Manchester City and Juventus had also scouted the 16-year-old who is being linked with Paul Pogba. Traore is expected to sign a three-year deal with Manchester United.
