Manchester United could sign £63 million teen sensation
Manchester United could be set to make a move for the teenage sensation who is rated at around a staggering £63 million.
At this point of time, it is no secret that Paul Pogba looks set to leave Manchester United next summer. And with just a year left on his contract, the club also appear to be ready to let him go for bargain £53 million.
Now, while Pogba has not been a huge part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first-team plans this season, he is still a massive part of this squad and someone that the club will have to find a replacement for when he eventually ends up leaving. Rennes’ 18-year-old midfielder, Eduardo Camavinga might be that man for the Red Devils.
With his contract with Rennes running out in 2022, he is expected to leave the French side next summer as well. And when he does, there is no going to be a lack of suitors. According to multiple reports, they have an asking price of around £63 million for the teenage sensation.

Earlier, Spanish outlet Marca had reported that three sides who were in running for his signature were Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Safe to say the Red Devils have their work cut out if they are to get a deal over the line next summer.
He is expected to be worth the work though. Despite just being 18 years of age, he has already made 3 appearances for a very strong France national team and is expected to be one of the best midfielders in Europe for the next decade or so. With such a massive upside, the club should not think twice if presented with the opportunity to bring him to Old Trafford.
Signing Camavinga will be a huge statement from United and over time, he could end up being an upgrade over Paul Pogba.
