Can Manchester United convince Conceição?

They have been successful in developing young players in the past and could help him reach his potential.
The 16-year-old needs to join a club with a clear path to the first team and a defined role. Sitting on the sidelines at a big club will have a negative impact on his development. Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona will need to present a proper plan for his development if they want to seal a deal.
