Man Utd have added Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo to their list of summer targets, according to Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas.
The journalist is usually very reliable when it comes to transfer stories, and he has labelled the Belgian as “one to watch” as the Red Devils consider strengthening their front line.

Fernandez-Pardo will be in action at the World Cup, having been included in Belgium’s squad by manager Rudi Garcia.
His selection was a complete surprise, as the 21-year-old had not been called up before the tournament.
Man United may face competition for the winger
Fernandez-Pardo does have other suitors. Reports in the French media have recently credited Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund with an interest in the player.
The youngster possesses a great deal of pace, and his ability to play right across the front three is one of his key assets.
United are mostly looking for someone who could play off the left flank, and that is definitely a role Fernandez-Pardo could excel in.

Thomas has also confirmed that the Red Devils are interested in Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers and Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye.
Director of Football Jason Wilcox is said to be a big fan of Rogers, having worked with him at Manchester City, while manager Michael Carrick briefly spent some time with him at Middlesbrough.
Ndiaye has been linked on and off with a switch to Old Trafford over the last few months, and the fact that talks over a new contract with Everton have stalled may encourage United to make a move.
