Manchester United’s search for fresh attacking talent continues to intensify as the Premier League season progresses.
With Ruben Amorim’s side still seeking consistency in front of goal, the Red Devils’ scouting network has been working overtime to identify young players who could make an immediate impact while also offering long-term potential.
Across Europe, clubs are keeping a close eye on emerging forwards, and the race for teenage and early-20s stars has never been more competitive.
Old Trafford supporters have grown accustomed to seeing talented youngsters thrive under Manchester United’s guidance, with the club historically investing in players who combine promise with adaptability to the English game.
Among these potential targets, one name has recently emerged as a focus for the club’s recruitment team.
Manchester United are reportedly interested in Levante striker Karl Etta Eyong, according to Ben Jacobs via the United Stand YouTube channel.

The 21-year-old forward joined Levante from Villarreal during the summer transfer window and has quickly impressed, already contributing to seven goal involvements in the league.
Karl Etta Eyong enjoyed a prolific season last year with Villarreal’s youth side, scoring 19 goals, and his performances have caught the attention of some of Europe’s top clubs, including several in the Premier League.
Sources indicate that United are actively scouting younger players, and Eyong fits the profile perfectly as a promising talent with a bright future.
Despite Levante having just signed him, and being unlikely to sanction a departure in January, the striker remains on United’s radar for potential future investment.
Convincing Levante to sell next summer in 2026 may also prove challenging, but the club sees Eyong as a possible long-term solution up front.
Eyong could form an exciting partnership with Benjamin Sesko, who United signed from RB Leipzig, offering United a blend of youth, athleticism, and finishing ability that could develop into a dynamic strike duo.
The transition to the Premier League would also provide the young forward with regular top-flight football, potentially accelerating his development and helping him reach his full potential.
