Adding talented youngsters is one facet of Manchester United’s transfer strategy this summer, with one incoming already confirmed.
Centredevils exclusively confirmed last month that talented teen Enzo Kana-Biyik had completed a move to Old Trafford, joining from Le Havre.
That signing followed the arrivals of Chido Obi-Martin and Ayden Heaven in the season, who were both signed from Premier League rivals Arsenal.

Ruben Amorim is keen to strengthen the core of academy prospects he has to pick from, with multiple youngsters making their way into the first team this season.
18-year-old Harry Amass, 21-year-old Toby Collyer, and 20-year-old Tyler Fredricson have all stepped into the first team in recent months, footing a path paved by established starters.
Key first team regulars Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo broke through from the academy in recent seasons and have since gone on to play key roles for United.
And the Red Devils will hope to bolster their talent ranks with further signings this summer.

Brighton bid for Manchester United target
They risk missing out on one target, though, with The Athletic’s David Ornstein reporting that Brighton are pursuing a deal for 17-year-old Charalampos Kostoulas.
The Seagulls have proposed a deal to Olympiacos of £30m plus Abdallah Sima, but this offer is expected to be rejected.
Despite his age, Kostoulas has featured heavily for Olympiacos in the Greek Super League 1 and the Europa League this season, scoring six goals.
The Greek forward is recognised by many as one of Europe’s most exciting talents, and has already scored for Greece’s under 21s.
Manchester United have been linked in the past, but will have to act quickly to avoid missing out.
