By Bence Bocsak
Manchester United have been tipped to sign a hugely exciting prospect who has been dubbed as the next Kylian Mbappe and could emulate him.
Old Trafford is no stranger to the presence of wonderkids. Manchester United have always had exciting young players with huge potentials. It has been the ethos of the Red Devils ever since their inception and early success under Matt Busby.
United are considered a hot bed for young players around Europe hoping to make their mark. The Red Devils have established plenty of careers in the past from the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo to Paul Pogba.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who has taken on the baton at the helm of the Red Devils has continued the club’s tradition. The Norwegian is on a mission to rebuild Manchester United’s former dominance and at the core of his team Solskjaer has put the emphasis on youth and the future.

Solskjaer wants to build a United team which will dominate not only in the present moment but for years and years. The Norwegian wants to establish another dynasty on par with Sir Alex Ferguson and Matt Busby.
Perhaps therefore it is no surprise that the Red Devils have been tipped to sign one of the most exciting young players in Europe right now.
According to reports by 90min.com via the Daily Mirror the Red Devils have been keeping an eye on the exciting Rayan Cherki of Lyon with the French club’s president ‘considering cashing in’ on the talented 16 year old.
Rayan Cherki has broken through the ranks at Lyon at a very tender age and has impressed already in the first team. He currently has 6 appearances in the league, 3 appearances in the cup with 3 goals to his name in that competition and another appearance in the Champions League.
Rayan Cherki’s form has attracted a lot of interest, even Kylian Mbappe himself has praised the talented midfielder via ESPN.
Cherki is an attacking playmaker with lithe feet, great balance and an excellent dribbling ability. He could definitely be the next big thing coming out of France after Mbappe and if the reports about Lyon wanting to sell Rayan Cherki are true, United are undoubtedly the favourites to sign him with their track record of giving youth players a chance
