Manchester United are reportedly alongside Barcelona in tracking exciting 15-year-old wonderkid Gabriel Rajkovic as a transfer target.
The Red Devils have a proud history of promoting young players from their academy, whilst also often signing the best prospects from other clubs and helping them develop into first-team stars.
Barca are also well known for their success with that strategy, so it makes sense that both of these clubs now seem to be the main contenders in the race to sign Rajkovic.
The highly-rated talent has already made history by becoming the youngest ever player in the Eliteserien, and he’s made an immediate impact at senior level with three goals and one assist.

TV2 reports that Man Utd are eyeing up Rajkovic, and that they could have the advantage in the race for his signature as he’s a boyhood fan of the Premier League giants.

Rajkovic looks like he has a big future in the game, and United would do well to snap him up ahead of other big names.
In many ways, MUFC could be a great destination for him, but at the same time, it’s also clear that they’re not the powerhouse that they used to be.
Things aren’t going too well on the pitch this season, despite United hiring Michael Carrick as manager after his successful spell as interim manager last term.

Barcelona could be a good option, while TEAMtalk also recently linked the teenager with Arsenal and Chelsea.
