Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Adama Bojang, a target for Chelsea and Liverpool, this summer.
According to The Guardian, Manchester United are keen on signing Adama Bojang, and they will face competition from clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham. The 19-year-old was outstanding in the Under-20 World Cup in Argentina and could be available for a fee of around €3 million this summer.
The 19-year-old forward plays for Steve Biko FC in Gambia, and they have received offers from German clubs as well. The striker reportedly prefers the move to the Bundesliga, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can convince him otherwise.
It is no secret that the Red Devils need to bring in attacking reinforcements, and Bojang could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition. The highly-rated striker has the talent to develop into a top-class forward, and Manchester United could certainly use someone like him.
Although he is not ready to make his mark on the first team yet, he could be a useful backup option to Marcus Rashford next season. The reported asking price of €3 million could prove to be a massive bargain for a player of his potential.

The 19-year-old has the physical and technical attributes to succeed in English football. But it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can fend off the competition from a number of Premier League clubs and secure his signature. Chelsea and Liverpool are desperate for attacking reinforcements as well, and the 19-year-old striker features on their radars.
Chelsea have struggled to score goals consistently and need to bring in a reliable finisher this summer. On the other hand, Liverpool have parted ways with Roberto Firmino and they need to bring in a quality long-term replacement.
Meanwhile, according to the updated governing body endorsement criteria for international player visas approved by the United Kingdom Home Office last week, the 19-year-old would qualify for a UK work permit as well, despite his lack of playing experience in Europe. So the possibility of signing him will be an attractive prospect for a number of English clubs, and the race for his signature could intensify this summer.
Manchester United of one of the biggest clubs in the world. And the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn out for any player. The 19-year-old will know that this is a massive opportunity for him, and it would be the ideal next step in his career. Working at a big club like Manchester United under a manager like Erik ten Hag could help him accelerate his development.
