It will be interesting to see if they then make a formal offer and complete the deal. The reported asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his caliber.

The Red Devils need more quality and depth in the middle of the park and the 17-year-old could be a long-term prospect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The opportunity to join a Premier League club would be a very exciting one for the South American midfielder. He may not be a regular starter for the Red Devils, but with the right guidance he could develop into an important player.
