Manchester United Set to Beat Chelsea to Signing of Exciting Tottenham Hotspur Youngster

Manchester United are eyeing a move for exciting Tottenham Hotspur teenager Nonso Madueke.

The 16-year-old midfielder turned down a two-year scholarship with Spurs, despite having a clear pathway to a first team that currently has a core of young English players.

According to the Daily Mail, the England youth international prefers a move to Old Trafford and is currently at a youth football tournament on the continent with the Red Devils' Under-16 team.

United academy scouts have been tracking Madueke for 18 months, and the youngster is said to have linked up with a United contingent at the MIC Tournament in Spain.
