Manchester United have registered their interest in Leeds United starlet Archie Gray.

The midfield is an area of ​​great concern for United fans as it was the source of many of the club’s problems last season.

The futures of Casemiro, Sofyan Amrabat and Christian Eriksen look likely to be away from Old Trafford and there is even the possibility that Scott McTominay could still move despite scoring 10 goals in all competitions last year.

United were heavily linked with Manuel Ugarte in the previous week, but Ineos are also keen to add even more young talent to United’s squad, particularly their home side.

TEAMtalk reports that “Manchester United are the latest big-name club to make a move for young Leeds United prospect Archie Gray” and “their interest has been registered alongside several other top clubs”.

The Red Devils would naturally face significant competition for the player, with Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur also showing significant interest in the 18-year-old.

“Gray is seen as a future England star and is being talked about by most of the Premier League’s top six and some European giants.”

He is also seen as “one of the most exciting talents in England” and when you consider the quality of player the nation is producing at the moment, that is a compliment.

The distributor rather bizarrely claims that his Leeds United affiliations would make a move to the red side of Manchester more problematic due to the massive rivalry between the two clubs, but it would hardly be the first time such a deal has been struck, with likes. of Joe Jordan, Gordon McQueen, Rio Ferdinand, Eric Cantona, Alan Smith, Johnny Giles, Brian Greenhoff, Gordon Strachan, Lee Sharpe and Daniel James among the many stars who have crossed the Pennines from one club to another.

Meanwhile, the midfielder is said to be “extremely happy” at Leeds and “fulfilling his dream” representing the Elland Road outfit.

“TEAMtalk can reveal that there is every possibility that he will stay as he will only leave for the right opportunity and wants to make sure his next step is the right one.”

It was reported here in January that United had identified Gray as a future midfield target, but former Leeds striker Don Goodman has already warned the youngster against a move to Old Trafford due to his family history with the Whites .
