Liverpool & Manchester United Tracking Uruguay Under-20 Starlet Nicolas Acevedo

Liverpool and Manchester United are among several clubs who have shown an interest in 19 year old Uruguayan starlet Nicolas Acevedo, according to reports.

The two Premier League giants will send scouts to watch the versatile youngster at the South American Under-20 Championships in Chile this month.

Really liked the performances of Juan Manuel Sanabria and Nicolás Acevedo in midfield.

They complement each other well, they do both parts of the game really well but Sanabria is the clear orchestrator while Acevedo recuperates a lot of possession. pic.twitter.com/8C2BGN2Oje— Warriors of Uruguay (@UruguayanHeroes) January 21, 2019

Acevedo currently plays in his native Uruguay for Liverpool Montevideo, and is capable of playing in both defence and midfield.
