Man United 'send scouts to watch next Raphael Varane' in Europa League action - after Jose Mourinho hailed wonderkid for 'saving my a***'

Manchester United are reportedly monitoring the progress of Fenerbahce defender Yusuf Akcicek.

Akcicek, 19, has played 13 times for the Turkish giants this season after breaking into the team over recent months.

The 19-year-old, who previously spent time in the academy of Fenerbahce's arch-rivals Galatasaray, has similarly been a regular in the Europa League.

This included playing the full 90 minutes of both legs of their knockout play-off round victory against Anderlecht, with Akcicek scoring in the second leg.

Fenerbahce are now set to take on Rangers on Thursday night in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
