Manchester United are ready to battle it out with Barcelona for the services of 19-year-old South American sensation Oscar Zambrano.
According to a report by Fichajes, Manchester United are keen on having Oscar Zambrano in their ranks, and they are set to battle it out with Barcelona to land him at Old Trafford. The 19-year-old defensive midfielder is a huge prospect for the future, and there is some serious interest from European clubs in his services.
Oscar Zambrano has come through the ranks at LDU Quito. The Ecuador Under-20 star made it to their first team last winter and has since featured in a total of 35 and has even contributed with a goal.
In the ongoing season, he has racked up over 1,200 minutes in 18 appearances. The teenage sensation has put in some impressive performances in the Ecuadorian top flight, and those performances have not gone unnoticed.
The teenager has been scouted by some of the biggest clubs in the world of football. Barcelona are one of the clubs interested in the services. The Catalan giants have been keeping a close eye on the 19-year-old for a while now, and they are keen on having him in their ranks next season.
Xavi’s team might have filled the void left by Sergio Busquets by signing 31-year-old Oriol Romeu but it is a short-term fix. They will need someone who can be their first-choice defensive midfielder in the long run, and Zambrano could go on to take up that role.
Despite keeping a close eye on him, Barcelona won’t find it easy to sign the 19-year-old as they are not the only club in the race. Even Manchester United are pushing for the teenager’s signatures. The Red Devils have entered the race and will make the Catalan giants’ life difficult.

Erik ten Hag’s team have two world-class defensive midfielders, Sofyan Amrabat and Casemiro. While they do need another defensive-minded midfielder in the short term, the Brazil international is already 31 and in the twilight of his career. As a result, Manchester United might be looking to Zambrano in their ranks to ensure they have a smooth transition in the centre of the park.
