Manchester United can repeat a Leny Yoro trick by signing a Lille youngster that Europe’s elite are sniffing around at already.

The Red Devils have always invested in youth, and the acquisition of Leny Yoro was no different.

Yoro was wanted by some of Europe’s elite, including Real Madrid, but Manchester United acted early and pulled off a tremendous coup, with Yoro set to make an impact at Old Trafford for years to come.

Could Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team pull off something similar with another Ligue 1 talent from Lille?

Manchester United linked to Ayyoub Bouaddi

TBR Football revealed on Friday that Arsenal and Liverpool are monitoring Ayyoub Bouaddi, but a host of Premier League sides, including Manchester United, are also tracking the midfielder.

Graeme Bailey said that when speaking to scouts, “there is not a more talked-about player in Europe” than Bouaddi.

He also stated that Lille view him on the same level as previous talents such as Eden Hazard and Yoro.

With strong competition for the midfielder, United could repeat the Yoro trick and start negotiations early before other clubs enter the frame.

They will need to act quickly, as Liverpool and Arsenal are in hot pursuit, alongside some of Europe’s top sides.

Expert says he is ‘Adam Wharton-quality’

Bailey, TBR Football’s chief correspondent, believes Bouaddi is of Adam Wharton quality and capable of playing the number six role that Manchester United are targeting, similar to the Palace star and Brighton’s Carlos Baleba.

The only factor holding some clubs back is that it can be harder to assess talent in France, but after standout performances in the Champions League, the 18-year-old is turning heads.

Bouaddi would likely be available at a lower price than both Baleba and Wharton, making him an intriguing prospect for Manchester United.
