Manchester City, Manchester United fight for Belgian youngster Eliot Matazo?

Anderlecht youngster Eliot Matazo has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for both Manchester City and Manchester United.

Matazo is regarded as one of the hottest prospects in Belgian football, but the 16-year-old is yet to pen a professional deal with his current club.

That has resulted in strong interest in the teenager's signature and according to Voetbal Belgie, City and United lead the race for the player's services.

A whole host of European clubs are said to want to sign Matazo - including Real Madrid and Barcelona - but it appears that the two Premier League teams currently lead the way.

Matazo is yet to make his senior debut for Anderlecht, but the central midfielder has earned eight caps for Belgium's Under-16 side.
