Man United is considering a movement for one of the highest rated teenagers in the world, because Ruben Amorim is planning to increase his attacking options after a disappointing Premier League season.
The 1-0 home defeat on Sunday by Wolves leaves the club 13th in the Premier League table and apart from the Europa League apart from any other competition.
After that match, Man United manager Amorim identified the inability of his team to score goals as the primary reason for their low position in the table.
“If we don't score goals, nothing matters, because in the end it's the result that counts, especially in moments like this,” said the Portuguese boss.
The Red Devils have scored only 38 goals this season in 33 Premier League matches, fewer than people like Tottenham (61) and Wolves (48) who sit in the table among them.
It is set to a busy window in the summer transfer in Old Trafford, because they try to tackle that shortcoming with the club that is already working on deals for Ipswich striker Liam Delap and Wolves Vooruit Matheus Cunha Vooruit.
And now it has emerged that the club also monitors the Wunderkind Franco Mastantuono river, which has a release clause of £ 38 million, the highest ever in the history of the Argentinian club.
Chelsea, Real Madrid Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan are also on the trail of the 17-year-old Starlet who was the youngest goal scorer of his club only 16 years, five months and 25 days in February 2024 and the record defeated by Javier Saviola.
The blues get the chance to see Mastantuono up close during the extensive club World Cup this summer in Miami.
Mastantuono is just the newest top talent that comes from the famous Academy of River after Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez and Julian Alvarez of Atletico, who belonged to one of the six graduates of the club's youth system in the World Cup of Argentina of Argentinia.
Mastantuono, who has already presented before the sides under 17 and Under-21, is expected to make his full debut next season and be Scaloni's team for next summer's World Cup.
The left -wing midfielder, who has three goals and two assists about 11 performances in all matches this season, usually plays on the right and cuts in on his stronger foot.
