Manchester United are keen on signing the Port Vale striker Baylee Dipepa and they are leading the race to secure his services.
A report from the Sun claims that Manchester United are keen on improving the pool of young talent at the club and they are keen on signing the highly-rated striker at the end of the season.
The player has been likened to the French World Cup winner Kylian Mbappé because of stylistic similarities and it will be interesting to see if the Red Devils can get the deal done. The 17-year-old recently impressed with the England under-17s this month and it is no surprise that he has caught the attention of the top clubs. He is already a member of the Port Vale first-team and he has managed to score in League One as well.
Manchester United scouts have been keeping tabs on him for a while, and it remains to be seen whether they follow up with an offer at the end of the season.
Manchester United move will be an exciting opportunity for Baylee Dipepa
Manchester United have a proven track record when it comes to nurturing young players into established first-team stars and they could help the 17-year-old fulfil his tremendous potential. A move to Old Trafford would be a major step up in his career and it will be an exciting opportunity for him to prove himself at a higher level. The Red Devils could help him fulfil his tremendous potential with coaching and guidance.
Manchester United need to add more quality and depth to their attack. Apart from the 17 year-old striker, they should look to bring in and established goalscorer at the end of the season. Ideally, they should look to invest in a versatile wide forward as well.
Port Vale will not want to lose their prized prospect any time soon, but they could be under pressure to sell him if Manchester United come forward with a lucrative proposal. The Red Devils certainly have the financial muscle to tempt the League One club in the summer.
