The 18 year old forward is regarded as one of the best young attacking talents in world football and Manchester United could be plotting another big money move like that of Anthony Martial to secure his services.
According to Swiss publication Blick, Peter Braund, the chief Manchester United scout was present during the match between Basel and Fiorentina to watch the young striker.
The Old Trafford outfit are in desperate need of a striker and Embolo could be the perfect foil for Anthony Martial over the next few years.
