Man Utd have already 'held initial talks' with the agent of 18yo explosive attacker
Manchester United have reportedly identified a new target as they begin shaping their plans for what could be a transformative summer transfer window.
It is no secret that strengthening the midfield remains a top priority at Old Trafford.
Apart from the midfield, they are also tipped to sign a winger and a full-back.
According to reliable insider Sully Talkz, United have held initial talks with the agent of Wolverhampton Wanderers wonderkid Mateus Mane.
The 18-year-old is a versatile attacker who can play on the wings and as a number 10.
Despite being only a teenager, Mane has played 18 times for Wolves.
He has chipped in with two goals and two assists in the league this season.
With just nine points from 26 matches, Wolves appear destined for relegation, a scenario that could trigger an exodus of their most promising talents.
In a campaign where attacking cohesion has been scarce, Mane has often been a rare spark.
They will be desperate to keep hold of their explosive talent but it seems that United have been blown away by his raw skills.
The Red Devils have reverted to a back-four system following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim.
There is a growing expectation that this structure will remain in place, regardless of who is appointed as the next permanent manager.
United lack natural wingers and signing Mane at a bargain fee seems a smart idea.
While regular minutes may not come easily at Old Trafford, the allure of joining one of Europe’s biggest clubs could prove impossible for the teenager to resist if a formal offer arrives.
