Man United competing with Real Madrid to sign 21-year old sensational Spain international who wants Old Trafford move

Manchester United are competing with Real Madrid to sign one of Spain’s emerging talents, according to AS.

Manuel Ugarte was signed by the Red Devils last month, strengthening their midfield unit.

It is anticipated that the former star of Paris Saint-Germain will make his debut following the international break.

As the number six, he should offer the much-needed defensive resolve. United is also keeping an eye on up-and-coming talent.

Sekou Kone, a teenage midfielder, was just recruited by the team. Juanlu Sanchez, who has already made nearly 50 appearances for Sevilla in all competitions, is reportedly being pursued by both Real Madrid and United.

This season, the 21-year-old has featured in midfield for Sevilla after beginning his career as a right-back.

His contract features a £17 million release clause that runs out in June 2026.

Sanchez could be a potential future star
The young Spaniard was recently part of his country’s Under-23 side at the Olympics. He was a regular substitute, but scored a crucial winning goal against Morocco in the semi-final.

La Roja went on to win the final against France with a resounding 5-3 scoreline to win gold. Juanlu was impressive with his distribution and attacking mindset during his time on the field.

Juanlu largely played as a right-back in Paris, but Sevilla manager Garcia Pimienta has preferred to utilise his qualities from a central attacking midfield role in the current La Liga season.

In our view, the midfielder is far from a finished article, but he has untapped potential. With a low clause of £17m, United could be tempted to prise him away from the Andalusian outfit.

Juanlu is in a strong position to decide his future. Sevilla could be compelled to sell him next summer if he decides against penning a new contract with an increased buy-out clause
