Manchester United 'join the race for in-demand Real Madrid teenager'

Man United 'join the race for in-demand Madrid teenager'

Manchester United are reportedly prepared to battle the likes of Arsenal and Barcelona for the signature of Real Madrid attacker Cesar Gelabert during this summer's transfer window.

The 19-year-old, who has featured on 13 occasions for Real Madrid Castilla this season, will see his current deal at the Bernabeu expire at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

Arsenal and Barca have both been credited with an interest in the former Spain Under-17 international.

However, according to AS, United have now joined the hunt for the teenager and are likely to submit an offer to Los Blancos this summer.

The report, though, claims that first-team boss Zinedine Zidane is a huge admirer of Gelabert and would have used him this season if the Spaniard had not struggled with injuries.

United are also said to be weighing up a summer move for Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso.
