Manchester United to snap up wonderkid after Barcelona exit?

Manchester United are reportedly close to confirming the signing of Marc Jurado, who is leaving Barcelona this summer.

While the Catalan giants have high hopes for the 16-year-old, club officials were unable to agree terms with the prospect's representatives.

That has resulted in confirmation that the young defender will be departing Camp Nou, increasing the possibility of a switch to Old Trafford.

Although Jurado has not provided any hints regarding his next destination, Metro has suggested that the player will likely sign for United.

Should a deal be finalised, the Premier League outfit will have to pay Barcelona a compensation fee in the region of £200,000.
