Eduardo Camavinga has received a plethora of hype since his emergence in France this season and the young star looks to have a prosperous career ahead of him. With Solskjaer desperate to reinforce and bolster his midfield options, Camavinga could be an ideal candidate. The 17 year old could be a mainstay in the United team for decades to come and that is exactly what the Norwegian is looking for.
Solskjaer is desperate to build a team for the long term and a dynasty at Old Trafford.
Camavinga’s arrival could be especially useful if Paul Pogba does indeed depart the club as it has been rumoured for some time. The 17 year old has been compared to the current United midfielder and there are definitely shades of Pogba in the Rennes star’s style of play. Even at such a young age, Eduardo Camavinga has the ability to dictate games from midfield, evidenced by a stellar performance against Paris Saint Germain earlier this season.
However, with United also purportedly interested in the likes of Jude Bellingham and Jadon Sancho as well as Jack Grealish, it might be one the Red Devils will not be able to afford this summer, considering the current financial climate.
