I have already spoke with him. He is my top target. He is a good replacement Jadon Sancho and he is just 18. “-BREAKING NEWS as Erik ten Hag reveals already Done Deal for £34m wonderkid after holding talks with Jadon Sancho’s replacement.

Manchester United are reportedly contemplating a formal bid for an unexpected target as they gear up for a busy summer transfer window.

While their immediate focus remains on the FA Cup final against Manchester City this Saturday, where Erik ten Hag’s squad aims to finish a challenging season on a high note, attention will soon pivot to next season’s preparations once the final whistle sounds at Wembley.

Significant changes are expected within the squad, particularly in defense following Raphaël Varane’s departure. The midfield is also a concern, with potential exits looming for players like Christian Eriksen and Casemiro.

According to AcademyScoop, United have already initiated discussions with the representatives of Désiré Doué, an 18-year-old French prodigy currently playing for Ligue 1 side Rennes. Doué, known for his versatility as an attacking midfielder or winger, made 42 appearances for Rennes in the 2023/24 season, drawing the attention of several top clubs.

The report suggests that Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal are also interested in Doué. However, Manchester United might soon formalize their approach, with INEOS eager to secure the youngster’s signature and outmaneuver their rivals. French outlet Ouest France adds that Rennes are open to selling Doué this summer, with an asking price between £34-42 million.

Doué, who has two years left on his contract, emerged from Rennes’ youth academy and is regarded as one of their brightest prospects.
