Report: Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur eye Real Madrid starlet Pedro Ruiz

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly among a host of clubs interested in poaching teenage striker Pedro Ruiz from Real Madrid.

Ruiz has starred for both Los Blancos' and Spain's Under-16s this term and his goalscoring form has attracted the interest of United and Spurs, according to The Independent.

Man United are said to be keen to revamp their youth recruitment across Europe and currently lead the race to sign the 16-year-old.

Ruiz had been part of the Real Betis academy from the age of eight but left to join Real Madrid's youth setup last year.
