Manchester United consider battle with rivals for Copenhagen starlet

Manchester United and Man City are reportedly ready to battle it out for Copenhagen starlet Amin Chiakha.

The 18-year-old is highly thought of at both clubs and United’s new hierarchy is trying to ensure that there is a bright future at Old Trafford.

One way of achieving that is by signing the best young players.

According to Tipsbladet, United are ready to fight for the young Copenhagen striker’s signature – and, it remains to be seen how much City are willing to spend on the youngster.

It has been years since United challenged in the market for the best young players. It’s a relief to see it starting to happen again, like we’ve suddenly woken from being a dormant volcano.

Time will tell if Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s volcano on Sir Matt Busby’s Way can erupt.
