Juventus Set to Rival Manchester United in Chase for Exciting Young Attacking Prospect

Italian giants Juventus will look to rival Manchester United in their pursuit of Norway Under-19 international Erling Braut Håland, according to reports.

The 17-year-old striker, who currently plays for Molde FK, is the son of former Manchester City defender Alf-Inge Håland - who saw his career cut short following an infamous tackle from Roy Keane.

Molde's sporting director, Øystein Neerland, recently confirmed that Manchester United were one of the clubs who were keeping tabs on Håland this summer.

The club's chief has since spoken about the reported interest from Juventus, insisting that 'nothing concrete' has been offered.
