Manchester United are keeping tabs on an 18-year-old forward ahead of recruiting a new forward this summer, according to a report.
Man United splashed out £72 million to acquire the services of Rasmus Hojlund, who has scored in five consecutive games.
He has 11 goals in all competitions to his name following his big-money switch from Atalanta last summer.

But Man United plan to sign another forward during the summer transfer window and are monitoring several options ahead of making an official approach.
According to Sky Sports Germany, Bayern Munich starlet Mathys Tel is among the options the Red Devils are monitoring.
Tel is aware of Man United's interest but has not yet given up hope of becoming Bayern's main man.

He is competing alongside Harry Kane, who has bagged an impressive 28 goals since leaving Tottenham, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
The teenager will have discussions with the Bundesliga outfit in the coming weeks to see if the club believe in him or not before making a decision about his future.
It's suggested that the Frenchman wants to either stay or leave the club on a permanent deal. A loan move is not an option.

The player's agent Gadiri Camara spoke out amid rumours linking his client with a summer transfer to Man United.
"Mathys loves the club, the fans, he wants to be important and win all the trophies here with a strong team. Sometimes you just need to feel like you're on the same path," he told BILD.
"We'll see very soon, but I'm confident. But if not, we have to consider all options because Mathys knows that he is valuable and will be a top player."
Tel joined Bayern from Rennes for £24 million in July 2022, penning a five-year contract.

He has made 54 appearances across all competitions, scoring 12 goals. He has netted six goals this season.
