Manchester United’s interest in Barcelona forward Ansu Fati is believed to be on the table ahead of the summer.

The Lowdown: Fati profiled

The 20-year-old already has 80 first-team appearances to his name at the Nou Camp. Primarily a left-winger, the Spain international can actually play anywhere across the front three and has a whopping €1bn release clause (£898m) in his current deal.

Sponsored by Nike, the Spain international has contributed to six La Liga goals in 762 minutes of action this season and appears to be on the radar at Old Trafford.

The Latest: Man United interested in Fati

Spanish outlet Sport provided an update on United and Fati in the last 48 hours, claiming that interest from the Red Devils is on the table.

The player’s agent Jorge Mendes has a good relationship with Old Trafford chiefs and is aware of interest from Manchester ahead of the summer.

The Verdict: Look elsewhere?

Marcus Rashford appears to be in the form of his life under Erik ten Hag, contributing to 17 goals in 19 games as a left winger this season.

Jadon Sancho, Anthony Elanga and Alejandro Garnacho are alternative left-sided options for Ten Hag, so perhaps a big-money move for Fati isn’t required at this moment in time.

An out-and-out star striker could be more beneficial, especially as Anthony Martial has had a number of injury issues this season and there is no option to make Wout Weghorst’s loan move permanent in the summer.
