Premier League giants Manchester United are giving serious consideration to a summer move for an up-and-coming member of Xavi Hernandez’s Barcelona squad, according to reports.
The Blaugrana star in the sights of the transfer team at Old Trafford? Ansu Fati.
Wide-man Ansu, of course, has long been considered one of world football’s most gifted young talents.
Continuing to struggle in his pursuit of a regular starting berth in Catalunya owing to a combination of injury woes and competition for places, though, it has been suggested in the media that the Spanish international could soon spring a surprise, in seeking out a move away from Barcelona.

And Man United, it would appear, are one club who would be keen to take advantage of such a situation.
As per a report from Spanish outlet Telemundo Deportes, the Red Devils are ready to test the resolve of the Camp Nou hierarchy come the summer.
