Manchester United: Red Devils eyeing Kendry Paez

Manchester United and Chelsea are in the race to sign Independiente del Valle teenager Kendry Paez, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Lowdown: Paez profiled
Paez is just 15 years of age and is a left-footed central midfielder who can also turn out in an attacking midfield role, as per Transfermarkt.
He is already an Ecuador U17 international, scoring three times in five games. Romano has described Paez as ‘highly rated’ and a ‘talent’, and it looks as of Old Trafford chiefs are keen on his services.
The Latest: United interest
Taking to Twitter, Romano said that United, along with Premier League rivals Chelsea and Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen are ‘in the race’ for the Independiente del Valle gem.
The transfer expert said that a decision on his future is set to be made soon.
The Verdict: After Biancheri?
The Red Devils appear to be busy when it comes to adding to their Carrington academy ranks, with a move for Cardiff City youngster Gabriele Biancheri just waiting for FIFA’s approval.
Forward Biancheri looks set to sign a four-year professional deal with United, so Paez could follow suit with a move to Manchester.
Both players could well prove to be stars in the making, so hopefully, United can pip Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen to the South American teenager, where he could look to force his way into Erik ten Hag’s first-team plans in years to come.
