By Bence Bocsak
Manchester United could land a very promising wonderkid from France on a free transfer with his contract set to expire at his current club.
Manchester United have often been the perfect destination for young players hoping to make their mark in Europe. From the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo to Paul Pogba, many world class talent have made their name for the Red Devils in the past.
Old Trafford is enriched with the tradition of promoting youth players. It is how the Red Devils have always functioned from the early days of Matt Busby to Sir Alex Ferguson and now Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has took on the baton.
The Norwegian clearly has an eye on building a world class squad at Old Trafford for the future. Solskjaer has done well in giving youth players a chance with the likes of Brandon Williams and Mason Greenwood establishing themselves as first team regulars this season.

The United boss has also made much of his signings with one eye on the future. The likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James were all brought having shown signs of promising potential.
It seems Solskjaer is set to continue that trend heading into the summer.
According to Goal, the Red Devils have set their sights on 17 year old Isaac Lihadji from Marseille. Lihadji’s contract expires in the summer and he is unlikely to pen a new deal with the French club which means United could snap him up for free.
Goal reports that both Arsenal and Barcelona are also interested in the player but with United lacking depth on the wing, Lihadji may opt to move to Old Trafford as he will have a much better chance of getting first team action.
Isaac Lihadji is a promising talent. At just 17 years old he has already made his debut for Marseille’s first team and has represented France at U18 level scoring four goals in ten games.
Lihadji is a fast skilful winger in the mould of Sadio Mane. He has bags of potential and at United he could establish himself as a huge talent.
