Manchester United 'to scout MLS wonderkid Alphonso Davies'

Man United 'to scout MLS wonderkid'

Manchester United will reportedly scout 15-year-old striker Alphonso Davies when Vancouver Whitecaps take on San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS later this month.

The teenager, who made his full MLS debut against Colorado Rapids on September 24, has already made eight league appearances for his Canadian club this season.

According to The Province, Davies's rise has attracted the interest of Man United, who will send their America scout Jorge Avial to watch the young forward in action against the Earthquakes on October 16.

Liberia-born Davies, whose rise has been compared to that of former America wonderkid Freddy Adu, joined Whitecaps' academy in 2015 before quickly progressing into the first team.
