Manchester United set to open talks with winger also scouted by Liverpool – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Manchester United are set to open negotiations with Nordsjælland over the potential signing of Kamaldeen Sulemana, who has also been scouted by Liverpool.
The Red Devils are set to bolster their squad this summer, with central defence and central midfield likely to see reinforcements.
Manchester United have also been linked with a move for a winger this summer, as reports suggesting a move for Jadon Sancho is still possible refuse to go away.
Now, a new name has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
The Daily Mail report that United were one of a dozen teams to scout FC Nordsjælland winger Kamaldeen Sulemana on Monday night, with rivals Liverpool also in attendance.
The 19-year-old scored his 10th goal of the season in that game, and Manchester United are said to have opened negotiations regarding his signing.
The Mail suggests that Sulemana could cost £12million, with the youngster considered Ghana’s biggest talent since Michael Essien.
Ajax are also said to hold an interest in Sulemana, so Manchester United will face fierce competition for his signature.
SL View – Would Sulemana be a good signing for Manchester United?
Even if United cannot find a space for Sulemana in their squad next season, the winger could still prove to be a smart purchase.
At 19 years old, the player has plenty of potential and with a couple of loan moves, could end up being worth double the reported fee that Manchester United could pay for him.
The Daily Mail’s report even suggests that Manchester United feel his value will rise after just one World Cup qualifier with Ghana, with their national side set to face South Africa in June.
As a result, this long-term investment could benefit the Red Devils if he ends up making their first-team squad or not.
With so many teams interested, though, the club will have to convince Sulemana that there is a pathway to the first team.
