Manchester United are reportedly looking to step up their interest in 18-year-old Rennes striker Mohamed Kader Meite.
According to a report from Ed Aarons of The Guardian, Manchester United are interested in 18-year-old Stade Rennais wonderkid Mohamed Kader Meite, who has impressed in Ligue 1.
Manchester United have already opened talks with the player’s representatives, and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an initial offer to further their interest in him. The youngster is likely to cost around €30 million.
Although it is a steep asking price for someone who is largely proven, the player has the potential to develop into a future star and justify the investment. The opportunity to move to Old Trafford could be quite exciting for the young attacker as well.
Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the country, and they could help him improve further. Regular football in England could bring out the best in Mohamed Kader Meite.
Multiple clubs keen on Kader Meite
The French attacker is highly rated across Europe, and multiple clubs are monitoring his situation. Signing him will not be straightforward. Manchester United should look to move quickly if they want to get the deal done. They have the resources to pay the asking price, and it will be interesting to see if they are ready to submit an acceptable offer in the coming months.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Kader Meite needs to focus on his development. The 18-year-old should only join a club where there is a prominent role for him. He needs regular opportunities to fulfil his potential. Sitting on the bench at a big club will not benefit him. It could be hugely detrimental to his development. The player needs to carefully choose his next destination.
Manchester United need more quality and depth in the attacking unit. The teenage prospect could support Benjamin Sesko in attack. Even though he might not be ready to lead the line for Manchester United every week, he could still be a very important squad player. It remains to be seen whether Rennes will sanction his departure in the coming months.
