Manchester United appear to be ramping up their efforts to secure the next generation of European football talent, with reports from Sky Germany suggesting the club is in advanced talks for two highly promising youngsters.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, United have opened concrete negotiations over a potential move for a 16-year-old Swedish striker, Kevin Filling who has caught the eye with his explosive pace and goal-scoring instincts. The teenager is already considered one of Scandinavia’s most exciting prospects and has drawn attention from several top clubs across the continent.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils are also said to be closely monitoring an 18-year-old Bosnian and Herzegovinian attacking talent, Karem Alajbegovic who currently plays in Austria. The youngster, known for his technical flair and intelligent positioning, has been making waves in youth international football and is seen as a player with the potential to make the leap to senior-level European football soon.
United’s renewed focus on youth recruitment aligns with their long-term vision of building a sustainable, future-oriented squad under their current football structure. The club has a strong track record of nurturing young players, with academy graduates such as Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho breaking into the first team in the past.
