Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the River Plate winger Felipe Esquivel. 

The 17-year-old recently scored an impressive winner over Belgium in the under-17 World Cup in front of the Manchester United scouts. The Premier League is now following him closely, and they like him.

Graeme Bailey told TBR Football: “United through Jason Wilcox are working hard on their youth ranks and making sure they don’t miss out. Esquivel is one they like and have been following for a little while now.”

Other clubs are monitoring his progress as well, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him. The 17-year-old attacker has a bright future ahead of himself, and he could prove to be a quality long-term investment.

The opportunity to join a club like Manchester United will be quite tempting for him. It would be a huge step up in his career. Even though he’s not ready for the Premier League, he could be an important member of their youth team. Manchester United could groom him into a first-team player.

Manchester United have done well to groom young players in the past, and they are looking to build a team for the future....
