Manchester United shows interest in Ajax -Teener Abdellah Ouazane.
Club Scouts watched the 16-year-old stealing the show at the U17 Africa Cup of Nations Championships in Morocco last week when he led the host country to a semi-final place against Ivory Coast this Tuesday.
Although born in Amsterdam, Ouazane played the lead role for Morocco and he was perhaps the striking player of the tournament, even though it was a year younger than most of his rivals.
Athletic, excellent on the ball, Ouazane is a versatile midfielder with a strong dribble power and an eye for both a goal and a pass.
He joined Ajax from Zeeburgia in 2016, next to his older brother Zakaria, who is a striker, and was compared in style with Jude Bellingham.
Morocco coach Nabil Baha said: 'He is a player we count on a lot. He can make the difference. He was born in 2009 – people forget that. He is a year younger than the others. But he plays at Ajax and he is full of talent.
The former international of Morocco added: 'Nowadays 100 percent is not enough. Everyone gives 100 percent. What we need is 120 percent. And there he is capable of. '
United continues to follow his performance, but considering an approach to Ajax is starting to build as an interest of rival voorders.
The club is a limited budget in what they can do at the first team level this summer with a lot, depending on who they can sell.
However, they look at more young players with a higher potential as they try to build a stronger infrastructure under the first team level.
They also checked 18-year-old Ryan One of Sheffield United, although it is expected to be offered this summer.
Striker One is seen as a possible replacement for Liam Delap, which is at the top of the wish list of Manchester United this summer due to his £ 30 million clause when Ipswich is falling.
United also wants £ 62.5 million wolves ahead Matheus Cunha, but has to sell Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony, among others.
