Manchester United have now joined the race to sign a "superstar in the making", who has already snubbed a move to rivals Manchester City, according to a report.
Man Utd eyeing move for attacking midfielder
As we approach Ruben Amorim's first summer transfer window as Man United boss, it is clear the manager will need to strengthen in a number of key areas, if his side are going to be competitive in the upper echelons of the Premier League table next season.
United are 13th in the standings with just nine games left to play, having arguably been overreliant on Bruno Fernandes to provide goals and assists, with the Portugal international leading the way on both metrics.
As such, the Red Devils may want to bring in another attacking midfielder this summer, and Borussia Dortmund's Felix Nmecha is one of the names on the shortlist, although contact is yet to be made to discuss a potential deal.

United believe they have an advantage over the other suitors.
Southampton's Tyler Dibling is also under consideration, with talks being opened over a deal for the 19-year-old, but the Englishman is not the only young attacker Amorim has his eye on.
According to a report from Tuttomercatoweb (via Sport Witness), Man United are now in the race to sign Genk's Konstantinos Karetsas, who has previously snubbed a move to rivals Man City.

Liverpool, Newcastle United and Napoli are also interested in a move for Karetsas, who has started to attract widespread interest from across Europe, courtesy of his performances this season.
The 17-year-old is said to have established himself as one of the best young talents in the world, and the race for his signature is now hotting up.
Karetsas impressing for club and country
Despite his age, the teenager has already managed to establish himself as a key player for Genk, making 25 league appearances this season, during which time he has amassed two goals and two assists.
Having impressed in the Belgian Pro League, the Greek attacking midfielder recently earned a call-up to his national side, where he has continued to perform very well, breaking the record to become the youngest Greece player to score a competitive goal.
Following the starlet's magnificent performance to help Greece prevail against Scotland, he also received high praise from freelance scout Ben Mattinson, who tipped him for future success.
As such, it is exciting news that Man United are in the race for Karetsas, and they will be hoping the youngster's previous snub of Man City will give them a better chance of winning the race for his signature.
