Manchester United tracking attacking prodigy amid interest from Europe’s elite

Manchester United are keeping tabs on Norwegian wonderkid Gabriel Rajkovic, while Alejandro Balde could still emerge as an option for the Premier League giants in the coming months.According to TEAMta...

Manchester United are closely monitoring Norwegian teenager Gabriel Rajkovic, a young footballing prodigy, according to TEAMtalk. The 15-year-old winger has already made waves in the football world, having made his debut for Valerenga’s senior team earlier this year. Rajkovic's versatility and skill set have caught the attention of several top European clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Liverpool. This situation could potentially put Manchester United in a competitive race for the talented player.

Meanwhile, Manchester United remains interested in Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde. Despite a failed attempt to secure the Spanish international's signature during the summer due to Barcelona's insistence on a permanent transfer, Balde could still be a target for the Premier League giants. The situation remains uncertain, but should Balde continue to face limited playing time at Barcelona, Manchester United might revisit the possibility.

United also seems pleased with the development of midfielder Kobbie Mainoo under the guidance of Michael Carrick. Mainoo, once close to a loan move, has now become an integral part of United’s plans. The young talent has signed a new contract, signaling his commitment to the club. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will pursue additional targets, but for now, the developments surrounding Rajkovic and Balde are certainly worth watching.
